"It's a sad situation that there was a brawl. I want regional football to develop."
These words were said by Shahin Karimov, the head coach of "Aghstafa Gencleri," while commenting on the confrontation and brawl that took place on May 17 in the "Kur-Araz" - "Araz Saatli" match.
He stated that the AFFA Disciplinary Committee will make a decision according to the law.
"Let's wait and see how things unfold. No one wants to be last. Let's hope they make the most objective decision. The Disciplinary Committee will make a decision according to the law. We don't want fights either. Let regional football develop. It's sad that there was a brawl. This is a stain on Azerbaijani football. The world saw the state of Azerbaijani football," he said in a statement to football-plus.az.
It should be noted that the match is not considered complete because the final whistle was not blown. Until the fight started, the Saatli representative was losing 0:3. Since security was not adequately ensured, it is also possible for the home team "Kur-Araz" to suffer a technical defeat. This result is undesirable for "Aghstafa Gencleri." The team has 24 points and is in 11th place. A technical defeat for "Kur-Araz" will add three points to the asset of "Araz Saatli," which is in 12th place, and the team will rise to ninth place with 27 points and move away from the relegation zone of the Second League. "Aghstafa Gencleri" will descend to its position.
