Gabala have finished their contest in 2011 sharing a draw with Garabagh in the eighteenth week of the Unibank Premier League. Fortifing in the group of six was significant for the both sides after we defeated the opponents 1:0 in the qualifying round on 27 August of this year. 

Althoug absence of some Gabala players, Fatih Kavlak's men were the better side on desplay.

The first threat was came up on 6 minutes by Dodo giving a cross from the right towards the net before Mendy's follow-up kick at the close range and Boyan Pavlovich deny.

Boyan was under spotlight againg in the 27th minute deflecting Sasha Yunusoglu's header a corner shot.

Dodo's the 38-minut threat could open the scoring when he beat the Garabagh keeper and fired to the post.

Playing mostly in defensive display, Garabagh could be able make a threat just before half-time. Beating Gabala's two midfielders, Afran Ismayilov entered the 18-yard box from the right but Doroshev carefuly denied him. 

Gabala's arch rivals seemed coming alive in the second half with constant attacks lasted just by 5 minutes after the hour mark.

And within the last 25 minutes, Gabala came from behind again, when Gurban Gurbanov's squad were forced to intercept the home side with rude tactics, but no good effects by the both teams.

Baranin was very close to be capitalized on 82 minutes wit his threatening header.

So, the last match-up of 2011 ended a draw with one point for the each sides.


Fatih Kavlak: “We knew that, it would be difficult to play against this team of Azerbaijan - who usually show the best performance with short spaces - in such a handsome stadium. We were preparing for the game with this thought. I think it was a cracking show. We hardly tried to grind out a result relying on players in the standard tall figure and dug to earn just one point playing well against the arch rival. We will try to spend the break in benefit".
