"It was a tough match for us".
These words were said to sport24.az by Umarali Rakhmonaliyev, a football player of the "Sabah" club.
The midfielder shared his thoughts on the VII round match of the Misli Premier League, which they won on the road against "Karvan-Yevlax": "Playing against such teams is always harder than playing against leaders. Because you can't predict what game the opponent will show."
The player explained the difficulty they faced on the field as follows: "The opponent defended with almost the entire team. Nevertheless, as a team, we made good use of the opportunities we had in the front line and took a 2:0 lead in the first half. We also had opportunities after the break. We won the 3 points that were important to us. I am happy about that."
Umarali Rakhmonaliyev stated that they want to line up victories after a short break in the championship.
It should be noted that "Sabah" defeated "Karvan-Yevlax" with two unanswered goals. The "Owls" will host "Zira" on October 19 in the VIII round.
