Gabala took 5:0 home victory on Sumgayit in the 20th tour of the Azerbaijan Premier League. The sides started with mutual attacks. Going more into the match, Gabala took momentum and opened the scoring after Clesio Bauque’s cross found Nicolas Rajsel shot in. Three minutes later, Bauque showed his value once again setting up Amin Seydiyev doubled Gabala’s lead.

After the break, Merab Gigauri and Asif Mammadov went too close to score more but their efforts went off. Later on, Rovlan Muradov tripled Gabala’s lead before two more goals by Ivitca Junic and Nicolas Rajsel.
