"We went out for a very important game for our team. We are happy that we won."
This was stated by Kapaz footballer Ryonosuke Ohori while talking about the 22nd round match of the Azerbaijan Premier League, in which they won 3:0 against Sumgayit at the Yevlakh city stadium.
According to the Japanese legionnaire, the author of the first goal, the red card received by the guest team's footballer Nikola Ninkovic in the 62nd minute did not affect the result: "Because we had already scored 3 goals in the first half," he said in a statement to sportnet.az.
Kapaz will play their next match against Turan Tovuz on March 5 at the Yevlakh city stadium. This will coincide with the return match of the 1/4 final stage of the Azerbaijan Cup. In the first game, the Tovuz team won 1:0.
The 25-year-old midfielder said that he would fight to make up for the defeat:
"I will try to score a goal and contribute to our team's promotion to the semi-finals."
Ohori's loan agreement with Kapaz will expire at the end of the season. He answered the question, "Do you intend to stay here or return to Neftchi, to whom you belong by contract?": "I don't want to talk about Neftchi."
It should be noted that Ryonosuke Ohori was loaned to Kapaz earlier this season. He scored 3 goals in the Premier League and 1 goal in the Azerbaijan Cup as part of the Ganja team. Thanks to Ohori's goal, it was possible to beat Araz-Nakhchivan in the 1/8 final stage.
