"The first games of the championship are tough. My players showed good skill. They played a decent game against one of the favorite teams of the championship. I think we were closer to victory. We had scoring opportunities when the score was 1:0 and when it was 1-1. We couldn't take advantage of them. The opponent scored from a set piece. We also had a chain of mistakes in that episode. Overall, I was very pleased with the performance of my players."
Idman.biz reports that the head coach of "Zira" Rashad Sadygov said this after the 1:1 match with "Araz-Nakhchivan" in the first round of the 2025/2026 season of the Misli Premier League.
- Do you think the referee influenced the outcome of the game today?
- Our disagreements during the game are natural. After the game, we also look, there are episodes that affect the result. Reactions during the game are different. Sometimes it happens that there are some dialogues due to the tension of the game. Overall, I was not dissatisfied with the refereeing in this game. The goal we scored in the 1st half was disallowed. I don't know how the ball touching the hand is interpreted in this episode. I'm not saying it's a wrong decision.
- What are your thoughts on the episode with Felipe Santos?
- The ball was in my hand. Santos took it hard. This happens between football players during the game. I was the only one left he hadn't done this to. This also happened. That's his character. We have to accept it like that.
