"Everyone knows that games against "Qarabagh" are intense. This is the case both in away and home matches." Sport24.az reports that these words were said by "Zira" player Ruan Renato.
The Brazilian defender shared his thoughts on the Misli Premier League IV round match in which they drew (1:1) with "Qarabagh":
"Our team did a special job in this match as well. Especially in the defense plan. If you play against "Qarabagh", the opponent controls the ball more in the second half. We endured well in the defense plan. We also managed to score a goal. We would like to distinguish ourselves a second time. We created goal chances, but we couldn't take advantage of them. Overall, the team did a good job in the match today."
"Why couldn't we score the second goal? I couldn't point out anything special. After the first goal, we created enough chances. We could have played a little more comfortably after the second goal. We did a great job in the defense plan. But that doesn't mean we were passive in attack. We had many attempts. Sometimes these things happen in football. The opposing team's goalkeeper played a perfect game."
