Valdas Dambrauskas: "Away win is a good result, but the job is not done yet"

Today, "Sabah" defeated the Moldovan representative "Petrocub" 2:0 away in the 2nd qualifying round of the Conference League. Sport24.az reports that after the game, the head coach of "Sabah", Valdas Dambrauskas, shared his thoughts on the victory:

"It was a very difficult game. The opponent had already played 7 matches before this game. We analyzed them well based on these games. In other words, we had enough material to analyze the opponent. We came here not just to defend or look for a chance in counter-attacks, but with the intention to show our own style of play on the field, to control the game. True, there were ups and downs in the game, especially in the first half. Sometimes we couldn't fully show what we wanted. In the second half, especially in the first 5-7 minutes, we experienced some difficulties. There are many things we need to work on. After the goal, we closed the game very well. Although the opponent tried to put pressure, we were able to control the ball, find the free player, which is exactly the way I want my team to play. Winning away in European Cups is very important. We kept a clean sheet, scored two goals - this is a good result, but the job is not done yet. In a two-legged tie, everything is never decided in the first game. Now we have to go back and prepare for the return match."
