The most discussed match of the XX round of the Misli Premier League was the match between "Gabala" and "Sabah". The "Owls" managed to return from a difficult Gabala trip with 3 points. However, more than the course of the meeting, the fact that the home team's goal was not recorded by the referee dominated the agenda. The majority states that the guests achieved the victory thanks to the referee, noting that the "red-blacks" did not deserve to lose.
Yes, "Gabala" did not play badly, especially in the late second half, they managed to push the opponent towards their goal. And as a result, in the 87th minute, the home team scored an equalizing goal. However, the signal from VAR forced head referee Rauf Cabarov to go to the monitor. After examining the episode for about 3 minutes, he indicated that the "Gabala" player played with his hand and did not record the goal. And so "Sabah" scored the next 3 points.
Today, everyone is criticizing "Sabah", stating that they did not deserve to win in yesterday's match. It is interesting, let's say that the referee and those sitting in VAR made the wrong decision. What is the fault of Valdas Dambrauskas' team in this? How true is it to write "Sabah" does not deserve the championship because of this?
After many years, thanks to "Sabah", we are watching a team competing with "Qarabag" for the championship in the Misli Premier League. The Masazir representative deserves only good words for both its staff and the game it displays. After Dambrauskas' arrival, "Sabah" entered a period of renaissance. In previous years, everyone was already confidently saying that Gurban Gurbanov's team would be the champion during the winter break. But everything is different this season. No one can say in advance who will eventually hang the "gold" around their neck.
Maybe later the word experience will be said, and the Aghdam team will be the champion again. But for today, "Sabah" is the reason for the intrigue in the Premier League, for the intense fight for gold medals. Let's admit that the "owls" managed to add color to the monotonous Premier League this year. Referee errors have always happened, exist and will continue to happen. Therefore, it is not correct to accuse any club, to say that it does not deserve something.
P.S. Everyone claims what they see and considers the opposing position biased. We are unbiased, that is why we do not say whether the referee is right or wrong. It really is a controversial episode.
P.S. The discovery of Khayal Aliyev as a forward also happened "thanks to the referees"?
