Gabala lost the season’s first leg to Dinamo Tbilisi in the 2nd Qualifying Round of the UEFA Europa League.

Gabala started faster led to some shots by Clesio Bauque tipped wide. At times, Yusif Nabiyev’s cross was followed up by Ivitsa Junic’s off-target head.

Then Dinamo Tbilisi’s Levan Kutalya went too close to the opener but Gabala keeper Anar Nazirov denied his close-range shot. Later on, the Georgian side opened the scoring.

After the restart, Nazirov gave some more saves to his teammates. Then two more threats came out be Isgandarov and Davit Volkov, but the red-black side were unable to level. And the visiting side doubled their lead with Arpang Daffe in the 87th minute.

Now the pair will face again in the return match at the Boris Paychadze, Tbilisi, next Thursday.
