"The return match with "Omonia" in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League is important for "Araz-Nakhchivan" in terms of image."
Idman.biz reports with reference to Report.az that this was said by Shahin Diniyev, a member of the AFFA Coaches Committee.
The expert said that the Cypriot club largely decided the fate of the pair by winning the first match held at the Dalga Arena yesterday (4:0): "Araz-Nakhchivan's game did not work out at all. "Omonia" surpassed the Nakhchivan club in terms of level, keeping them under pressure from the first minutes. They also built various attack combinations. Unlike "Aris", there were many downs in the game with "Omonia". In any case, "Omonia" is superior to "Araz-Nakhchivan" in every way. They did what they wanted on the field in terms of both level, players, and experience. "Omonia" did not attack and score by chance. I think it will be very difficult for "Araz-Nakhchivan" to make a comeback. 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 that "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.
