"Qarabag showed its level as expected." These words were said by Yashar Vahabzadeh in his statement to Sport24.az.
The experienced specialist spoke about the game of "Qarabag", which defeated the Irish representative "Shelbourne" 3:0 away in the II qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League:
"The team completely surpassed its opponent both in experience, game construction, and individual skill. Agdam representative, who took the initiative from the first minutes of the game, skillfully used the opponent's weak defense line. Before the game, the management of "Shelbourne" made ambitious statements. We thought that the opponent was ambitious, confident in its strength, and would be a headache for "Qarabag". But Gurban Gurbanov's team showed that their level of skill is much higher than the opponent's. That's why they won with a big score. Gurban Gurbanov said in his statement after the game that the fate of the pair has not been decided. I think the opposite is true, "Qarabag" has already secured a ticket to the next stage. We will also defeat "Shelbourne" in Baku".
It should be noted that the return match between the teams will be held on July 30 at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium.
