As part of the 20th round of the First League, "Baku Sporting", visiting "Sabail" yesterday, lost with a score of 0:1. After this result, the "sailors" reached the number of points to 37 and shared the second step. "Baku Sporting" coach Royal Najafov spoke about the defeat.
"It was clear from the beginning that the game would be difficult. We played much better than "Sabail" in both the first and second halves. As I said before the game, we came to the field to win. We showed football worthy of victory and created many goal episodes. We failed to take advantage of three or four real goal situations. We must also emphasize that we did not properly evaluate the assigned penalty. The result was in line with the saying "they score on those who don't score". I am only dissatisfied with the result. In the dressing room, I thanked each of the children for the football they showed and the character they showed. Only one goal was missing. Sometimes it happens like this. Sports happiness was not on our side. I am completely satisfied with the game shown by my team.
If the penalty we missed or any of the opportunities before it had turned into a goal, we would have left the field with a big win. If we do not take into account the goal they scored, the opponent did not have a single shot at our goal in 90 minutes. During the confusion, the ball fell in front of their player. Every moment is important in football. Even a moment of inattention can result in defeat.
By the way, I was satisfied with the work of the referees. I must emphasize that they managed the game at a high level. They were able to handle the weight of the match. The main thing is that there are no mistakes that affect the outcome. I don't think there was such a mistake yesterday. It's football, sometimes we also protest from the outside. But the reality is that they coped with their work properly in a tense match," he said in a statement to fanat.az.
