Azerbaijan's national futsal team faced the Kazakhstan team today as part of their training camp in Aktau. According to Sport24.az, although our team traveled with 16 futsal players, only 14 players were included in the protocol because the meeting would be included in the FIFA ranking table.
As a result, Punhan Gasimzade and Tofig Mikayilov, who had a minor injury, watched the game from the sidelines. The opponent, on the other hand, re-invited Brazilian goalkeeper Igita, who had ended his career some time ago, to the team. Edison was also among those who helped his team. One of the moments that added color to the match was that Alesio Da Silva, who led our national team for a long time, was in the opposing camp as the opposing coach this time. Compared to the Tbilisi training camp, Cavad Mammadov was guarding the goal of the Azerbaijan national team. As for the game, the hosts, who had a more experienced squad, opened the scoring in the 14th minute. Only 24 seconds later, our team was invited to the center of the field for the second time. However, 2 minutes later, we reduced the difference to a minimum with Kazikhanov. The opponent scored another goal before the break. In the second half, the Kazakhstan team, which scored consecutive goals, won with a big score. The next game between these teams will be held on April 15 at 17:00 at the BS Arena.
