Gabala - First Champions of U19 League

FC Gabala makes history being the champion club of the first domestic U19 League at the top of their successful run. Bitterly disappointing Garabagh with 5:0 in the final match, our youth included:

57. Ali Hasanli
39. Sadig Guliyev
49. Ibrahim Aslanly 
33. Elvin Jamalov 
32. Gismat Alyev (50. Hasi Humbatli)
43. Asgar Nabiyev 
55. Tarlan Ahmadov (10. Ali Samadov)
24. Elnur Mustafazadeh (41. Nurlan Salahov)
66. Farid Hajiyev (27. Humbat Jafarov)
77. Ehtiram Shahverdiyev (17. Siraj Guliyev)
29. Tellur Mutallimov

Coach: Elnur Jodarov

Gabala started faster. It even could be said Garabagh were not seen with any real threats within the full time. The quick attacks from the red-black half of the pitch led their opener in the 8th minute with Ehtiram Shahverdiyev. Ten minutes later, Sadig Guliyev could have doubled Gabala"s lead but he was off-target with the penalty after foul on Gismat Alyev in the box. Gabala were unable to take benefits from further occasions in the half.

The second period got underway the same way as Gabala kept going better. Farid Hajiyev scored Gabala"s second just 6 minutes before Tellur Mutallimov came on the scoresheet- 3:0. 

Ehtiram Shahverdiyev sealed his double on 89 minutes to make it 4:0. It still was not the last goal as Hasi Humbatli scored in the winner during the extra time. The result named Gabala to the first cup of the U19 League through the high-scoring victory. 

Right after the game, the winners were awarded by Secretary General of the AFFA Elkhan Mammadov, technical director Bernhard Lippert and the coach of Azerbaijan national U19 Arif Asadov. Gabala"s midfielder Elvin Jamalov was estimated to be the best player of the tournament.
