Gabala has ended the season’s domestic cup by 0:1 loss to Keshla. The team from capital Baku seemed faster from early minutes but then Gabala gained momentum gradually. But there were not much pulsating threats in the half. At times, Tamkin Khalilzadeh’s shot in the box was denied by the opponent keeper.
Gabala went too close to opening the scoring when Bagaliy Dabo failed to capitalize on a cross by Javid Huseynov.
After the restart, Keshla’s Andre Klennon looked very close to scoring but the Gabala defense held on clear. Then the red-black team pushed harder led to more dynamic moments when Famoussa Kone’s poor header passed wide.
Keshla set up counter attacks when Vagif Javadov was cancelled by Dmytro Bezotosniy. Later on, Vagif set up Perdis Fercad-Azad who gave a shat passed the Gabala keeper.
The result left Gabala ending the season with their third experience of cup final.
