Shahin Diniyev: "Araz-Nakhchivan" - "Omonia" return match is important for image

The return match with "Omonia" in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League is important for "Araz-Nakhchivan" in terms of image.

Shahin Diniyev, a member of the AFFA Coaches Committee, said this in an interview with "Report".

The expert said that the Cypriot club largely decided the fate of the pair by winning the first match held at "Dalga Arena" yesterday (4:0):

"Araz-Nakhchivan"'s game did not work out at all. "Omonia" surpassed the Nakhchivan club in terms of level, kept them under pressure from the first minutes. They also created various attack combinations. Unlike "Aris", there were many ups and downs in the game with "Omonia". In any case, "Omonia" is superior to "Araz-Nakhchivan" in every way. Both in terms of level, players and experience, they did what they wanted on the field. "Omonia" did not attack and score goals by chance. I think it will be very difficult for "Araz-Nakhchivan" to come back. In my opinion, "Omonia" decided the fate of the match in Baku. "Araz-Nakhchivan" should focus on the domestic championship. The return match is important in terms of image. Because they will represent Azerbaijan. In this sense, I think "Araz-Nakhchivan" will play better in the return match".

It should be noted that the "Omonia" - "Araz-Nakhchivan" match will be held on August 14 at 21:00 in Nicosia.
