Gabala defeated Sumgayit by 2:0 extending their unbeaten run of the last 10 matches. The away game started with faster attacks by Gabala and Urfan Abbasov"s superb shot was denied by the host keeper. Gabala"s keeper Dmitri Bezotosny felt a bit trouble when a free kick by opponent Murad Aghayev passed just inches off the post. After some more mutual attacks, the red-black side took the lead with inroads into Sumgayit"s defensive line that seem as a matter of time before 2 goals in the last 3 minutes of the first period by Gai"s header before Mendy scored the 2nd.

Restarting faster, Gabala could have scored more with Ekigho Ehiosun, but the opponent keeper denied him clear. Bakhtiyar Soltanov missed his chance to catch the superior ball from Ricardinho. Then although Sumgayit regained the momentum, Gabala held on remaining tight in defense. The result left Gabala moving their points up to 50.
