"We played well. Although we couldn't score in the first half, we were superior in terms of real opportunities. We wasted 6-7 episodes. If we could have capitalized, the course of the match would have been different. Instead, the home team did not forgive our mistakes." According to Sport24.az, these words were stated in the statement of Nihad Ismayilov, who scored the first goal of our team in the friendly match against Georgia at the Tbilisi Arena yesterday, to azfutzal.az.
Ismayilov commented on the first match with the national team of the neighboring country:
"Taking advantage of the confusion, they gained an advantage by scoring two goals in a row in one minute. We started the second half differently. This time we scored the goal. Let me put it this way, after the break it was an equal game. The head coach also gave a chance to the young people involved in the team. Of course, if they have been invited and brought on the trip, they needed to appear on the field in terms of gaining experience. It was a good experience for them. Test matches are also important for this reason.
It should be noted that the Azerbaijani national team will meet Georgia for the second time on April 11 at the same venue. On the 13th and 15th of the month, the team will play friendly matches with Kazakhstan in Aktau.
