Going on with the trainings in Slovenia, Gabala have played their initial match there against MFK Karvina, a Czech team.

Our team includes:
Anar Nazirov, Vurghun Huseynov (c), Nodar Mammadov, Urfan Abbasov, Daniel Lopez Cruz, Rashid Amiraslanov, Aleksandr Certoganov, Rashad Abdullayev, Rovshan Amiraslanov, Yannick Kamanan, Amil Yunanov.

The pace of the event, after heavy raining, started by mutual attacks. The first threat was sealed by Yannick Kamanan shooting the ball from far post cut through the keeper before crashed off the post. Late on, the Czechs swung the course of the game into their own favour with Antonin Presl putting his team ahead.

Gabala fully updated the staff in the second period just leaving only Amil Yunanov and Nodar Mammadov:

Diego Costa, Dejan Kelhar, Murad Musayev, Shahriyar Khalilov, Nodar Mammadov, Yashar Abuzarov, Bruno da Silva, Kamal Mirzayev, Elmar Bakhshiyev (c), Victor Mendy, Amil Yunanov.

We took the second half pace faster than the earlier period as it was evident with serious inroads into the other end, but Elmar, Amil, Kamal and Victor were not be able to score equalizer goal. At the closing period, Amil was substituted by young Seymur Asadov. No more goal up to the time escaped.

Having been ruled by a medical staff, Luis Hilario Dodo and Muammer Erdoghdu were not be able to attend the match.
