After the Conference League II qualifying round match "Sabah" – "Petrocub" (Moldova) (4:1), the head coach of the visiting team, Shota Makharadze, answered journalists' questions. Sport24.az reports that the specialist said the following about the meeting…
– What do you see as the reason for the big score defeat?
– I would like to congratulate "Sabah", they advanced to the next stage. After the first game, we were in a difficult situation. We knew that we had to take more risks in the return game. As a result, we conceded two goals, and although we scored one goal and got back into the game, we conceded unnecessary goals close to the break. Such mistakes are unforgivable.
– Is the main reason the difference in level, or is your team not ready?
– In the first game, we played at an equal level for 82 minutes. We had episodes. Then we conceded a goal. Conceding the second goal at the end of the match led to this result. The second game was like a continuation of the first. We put ourselves in a difficult situation.
– Do you think the defeat will negatively affect your career in the team?
– Yes. Such a defeat is not pleasant. We have a good enough team. Such things happen in football. We have to accept it.
