"We were very disappointed. We didn't expect such a result. The atmosphere in the stadium was also very beautiful."
These words were said by Vadim Abdullayev, a football player of "Karvan-Yevlakh".
The experienced football player commented on his team's defeat to "Kapaz" (1:2):
"The fans were able to fill the stadium. We make a lot of mistakes. They didn't deserve this result. The cheap penalty decision given by the referee, and then the penalty not given to the opponent's goal, became the breaking point of the game. After VAR came to football, it became very meaningless. The only way out of this situation is to work tirelessly," he said in his statement to sport24.az.
The football player, who was penalized with a yellow card in the match, will miss the next round's game against "Qarabag". Abdullayev stated that this decision was strategic:
"I was trying to get the yellow card myself. We have an important home game with "Shamakhi". It could be risky to get a yellow card on the road against "Qarabag" in the next round. This was a strategic decision. Whoever enters the field in the game with the Aghdam club will do their best. The opponent has been the strongest team in Azerbaijani football for years."
It should be noted that "Karvan-Yevlakh" is in the last place in the tournament table after this defeat.
