"We knew it would be a difficult match. Although "Karvan-Yevlax" is a debutant, they had a good start to the championship." These words were said by "Shamakhi" footballer Rufat Abbasov in his statement to Sport24.az after their victory over "Karvan-Yevlax" in the 4th round of the Misli Premier League.
The young defender, who also defends the honor of U-21, shared his thoughts on the match:
"We prepared well for the game and thanks to that we won 3 points. We are happy that we scored goals and won a big victory for the first time in the history of "Shamakhi". The goal difference could have been more, but unfortunately we could not take advantage of it. The opponent started the second half well. The opponent was behind in the score and wanted to equalize the result. Fortunately, we endured and were able to score the third goal. Although I participated in the games with Portugal and Bulgaria in the U-21 national team, there was no fatigue. I had time to rest. There were slight pains, which is normal. You come a long way, you play 90 minutes. Our next opponent is "Zira". We have little time. Hopefully, we will try to fulfill the head coach's instructions and win a point or points".
"Note that the match "Shamakhi" - "Karvan-Yevlax" ended with a 3:0 victory for the home team.
