"Neftchi" coach Sanan Gurbanov apologized to the fans.
Idman.Biz reports that the specialist said this at a press conference after the match of the 1/8 final stage of the Bizon Azerbaijan Cup with the "Zira" team.
The "Zira" - "Neftchi" match ended with a score of 1:0 in favor of the settlement team. "Neftchi" stopped fighting in the tournament.
"We analyzed Zira. We told the players the weaknesses and strengths of the opponent. We didn't have time to train. We focused more on the recovery of the players. We could prevent the opponent's attacks. Our attacks were also dangerous. The goal we missed shortly before the end of 120 minutes was upsetting. Our fans showed good support. I apologize to them," - Gurbanov said.
