Siyasat Asgarov: "Neftchi" showed character in the game against "Fomget", but mistakes were inevitable

"Neftchi" showed character and fought to the end in the match against "Fomget" (Turkey) in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.

"Report" informs that Siyasat Asgarov, the head coach of the capital's women's football team, said this in a statement to the club's press service.

The expert emphasized that the representative of the brotherly country, where he worked before, has strengthened considerably:

"I knew the opponent well. Because I had worked at the "Fomget" club before. However, almost half of the team was renewed, and the squad was significantly strengthened. Many of the new players were members of national teams that are strong in women's football. Moreover, it was a mystery what kind of surprise we would face, since the opponent did not play any games during this preparation period. However, we also chose a game plan according to the opponent's strength and prepared as much as possible. We wanted to punish the opponent without conceding a goal. In my opinion, our team showed character and fought to the end. But unfortunately, at certain times, the opponent's quality came to the fore and forced us to make mistakes. After these mistakes, we conceded goals. However, we also had chances. I think that the main reason why we could not take advantage of the opportunities is the large number of young players in the squad. I think the team can show better results in the future."

It should be noted that the "Fomget" - "Neftchi" match, which was held in Tirana, the capital of Albania, ended with a 2:0 victory for the Turkish club.
