Gabala coach Elmar Bakhshiyev talks for a post-match reaction right after the 2:1 loss to Keshla in the 9th tour of the Azerbaijan Premier League. The 38-year-old skipper says:

“We knew the match would go hard for us as our two footballers would miss the game. So it was difficult to line up the right team against the opponents.

But after the down show in the first period, the team pushed harder to show their best in the second half. We made some changes in our style after the break and it gave dynamism to the squad.

I would not say the conceded goal was a mistake by Faig Hajiyev as he’s a young and promising footballer. We will give him more chances in the upcoming game.”
