"Everything went as we wanted in the first half. The team played well and opened the score."
Sport24.az reports that this was said by "Ferencváros" head coach Robbie Keane after the 1:3 defeat to "Qarabag" in the first match of the Champions League play-off stage.
The Irish expert does not lose hope that they will be the winner of the tie: "Bense Otvos's injury disrupted our work. Unfortunately, we conceded simple goals. We had to control the game more. The opponent thinking that they have already passed the stage gives us hope. Anything is possible in football, we have the power to get out of a difficult situation."
It should be noted that the return match between "Qarabag" and "Ferencváros" will be held on August 27.
