"In the first half, our attacks were ineffective due to the opponent's tight defense. "Shimal" is not the same as before, they have strengthened their squads. They have started playing better football as a team." These words were said by "Shafa"'s head coach Elgiz Karamli in his statement to Sport24.az.
The young specialist commented on his team's match against "Shimal" as part of the 18th round of the First League:
"It is no coincidence that they scored 7 goals and won in the last two rounds. The match did not go as we wanted. We had 3-4 hundred percent goal episodes in the first half, we could not capitalize. We started the second half more aggressively and as a result, we were able to open the score. You can't always play well. The main thing is that we added 3 points to our assets. The last round has started. We have tough games ahead. We must be psychologically and physically prepared for this. I think we can become champions if we continue like this."
It should be noted that the match "Shimal" - "Shafa" ended with a 0:2 victory for the guests.
