We are very disappointed to have lost to Baku Sporting with a score of 4:1. The opponent is a good team. They have players with high individual quality. We conceded goals due to Adil's mistakes." These words were said by Tural Jalilov, the captain of "Shimal", a representative of the First League, in his statement to Sport24.az.
The experienced football player commented on his team's big defeat in the 3rd round of the league against "Baku Sporting":
"In the middle of the first half, we had the opportunity to turn the game around, but we couldn't take advantage of it. Our goal this season is to stay in the First League. We don't want to be relegated to a lower league. The level of the league is high. There are quality football players, teams are playing for the championship. There is serious competition in the championship. It will be very difficult for us to stay in the league. We will fight until the end. Our squad is not very wide. We still have a problem with the stadium. We hold our home games in Shamakhi. Therefore, we can say that every match is played away for us. We travel about 3 hours for each game. It is very difficult to travel and play such a distance. We hope that our stadium will be ready. Our current situation is very difficult."
It should be noted that after 3 rounds, the Khachmaz representative with 1 point in its asset is in the 9th place of the tournament table.
