"Qarabag's victory has resonated not only in Azerbaijan but throughout European football. Frankly, we didn't expect this victory because we knew that Gurban Gurbanov's team would play against a club with rich football traditions - a club that won the Champions Cup twice, where football legends played, from the genius Eusebio to world champion Otamendi. This was both a big and pleasant surprise for us."
This was stated by Shahin Mammadov, president of the "Jabrayil" club, in his statement to Idman.biz.
Although he said he was disappointed after seeing 2 goals in Qarabag's goal, he emphasized that the game was memorable with dramatic episodes: "After two goals were conceded, I personally thought that the club would live its fate as a 'youth team'. But our players showed fantastic will and made a comeback that all of Europe is talking about!"
Shahin Mammadov added that this victory is a great motivation and incentive for all Azerbaijani clubs, including "Jabrayil", which currently plays in the I League: "Qarabag" proved that nothing is impossible in football, even for Azerbaijani clubs. Of course, "Qarabag" created a festive atmosphere for the entire Karabakh region and all of Azerbaijan!".
