Gabala played in a goalless draw against AZAL at the 10th tour home match of the Topaz Premier League.

The home side, the top team on the league table, took the lead from the early minutes with quick attacks. And AZAL looked with their hopes for counter attacks but they also were unable to set threats.

Gabala”s head coach Roman Grigorchuk made some changes in the second half that led to pulsating occasions on the other end. But Oleksiy Gai”s goal was not allowed for the offside. Zenyov also went too close to scoring but the opponent keeper held on clear.

Grigorchuk introduced Vagif Javadov who reached to be 198th player for Gabala with his debut. But the change didn”t help the red-black side to break the deadlock.

It was the 2nd goalless draw in a row in the streak of 6 clean sheet games after Dmytro Bezotosny conceded his last goal 727 days ago hitting the stage of 660-minutes to get in the list of the longest clean sheet events. The Ukrainian keeper is the 2nd red-black footballer striking this after Latvian Pavel Doroshev with 952 clear minutes as a record of the club.
