"It was a very difficult game. The opponent had already played 7 matches before this game. We analyzed them well based on these games. So, we had enough material to analyze the opponent. We came here not just to defend or look for a chance on counter-attacks, but to show our own playing style on the field, to control the game. True, there were ups and downs in the game, especially in the first half."
Idman.biz reports that Valdas Dambrauskas, the head coach of "Sabah," said this after the first game against "Petrocub" in the second qualifying round of the Conference League.
The Lithuanian specialist commented on the 2:0 away victory: "Sometimes we couldn't fully show what we wanted. In the second half, especially in the first 5-7 minutes, we had some difficulties. There are many aspects 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 open player, which is exactly the style I want my team to play. Winning away in Europe is very important. We kept our goal intact, scored two goals – this is a good result, but the work is not over 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."
It should be noted that the return match will be held in Baku on July 31.
