"The five-hour journey from Zagatala to Agsu on the day of the game created additional fatigue in the players. My players' legs were cramping. Thank God the kids showed character. This is a very important factor in Azerbaijani football."
These words were said by "Zaqatala" head coach Rustam Mammadov while talking about the game in which they defeated "Difai" in the VII round of the First League.
"The first half of the match went better for us. In the second half, the road fatigue I emphasized showed itself. Although we were ahead in the score, the opponent was putting pressure. We won after three games. The teams that defeated us are in the upper part of the league. To win, you have to score and keep the goal untouched. We were losing because we had the problems I mentioned. We want to score, but it doesn't work, we lack composure. No special goal has been set for the team this season. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't play football. "Zaqatala" is fighting to be among the prize winners. The club management has not given any special instructions," he said in a statement to sport.24-az.
It should be noted that the "Difai" - "Zaqatala" match ended with a score of 1:2.
