"Gabala" showed great determination and spirit today. They were very difficult games."
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by Valdas Dambrauskas, the head coach of "Sabah", after the return match of the 1/4 final stage of the Azerbaijan Cup against "Gabala".
"Sabah" Bizon advanced to the semi-finals by defeating "Gabala" in the penalty shootout in the return match of the 1/4 final stage of the Azerbaijan Cup.
"In the previous game, when we were 3:0 ahead, the opponent ("Qarabağ") was also able to make a comeback. Today, we were 2:0 ahead in the score. The opponent made a comeback after being down to 10 men. We need to analyze and investigate these. This is a cup game. In every country, there are such "crazy" scores, stories are written. I believe that neutral fans also enjoy our games. We will return to Baku. In 5 days, we have another game with "Gabala". It is difficult for me too. We face this opponent 4-5 times in a month. It is difficult to analyze an opponent over and over again.
What happened in the last two games cannot but worry me. These two matches are a great lesson for us. We must draw conclusions from our mistakes," the head coach said.
