Gabala ended the Azerbaijan Premier League’s fourth tour in 1:1 with Zira in home match.

The game started by mutual attacks but Roman Grigorchuk’s side saw it difficult to break the Zira defense in early minutes. The visitors gave some troubles to our goal keeper Dmytro Bezotosniy but the Ukrainian footballer held on. Gabala could set up their pulsating threat just before the half-time when Dion Malone sent the ball from the left to Javid Huseynov at the penalty spot, but the latter saw his 13-meter drive passed wide. The opponent side looked trying to feed back with Richard Gadze giving 21-meter shot deflected by Bezotosniy.

Grigorchuk introduced Elvin Mammadov to the second period to develop Gabala’s attacks. But it was a poor restart for our team as Ozobic and Steeven Joseph-Monrose both injured in a short time and changed. Although further inroads into the Zira defense, we were unable to score and the visiting side opened the scoring with Victor Igbekoyi. But it was stepping up their attacks after the goal and the red-black team leveled with Javid Huseynov scoring by penalty in the extra time. 

The result left Gabala boosting their points to seven.
