Gabala have made 1:1 against Ravan in the closing match of the Topaz Premier League 14th tour tonight. Roman Grigorchuk”s squad came on the pitch just for victory to hit the 2nd place on the league season table, as well as to reach their unbeaten run of the last 6 games against the opponents to the 7th in the 10th tie of the pair.

Samir Zargarov was awarded by a gift for his 100th match experiences for Gabala just before the game got underway.

The home side started faster and took the lead with the very early minutes into the game. And it was the team from Baku backing on the defensive line at times looking on counter attacks. Gabala”s opener was canceled 2 times when Oleksiy Antonov”s 2 promising shots was denied by the Ravan keeper.

Expecting their chance for a counter attack, Ravan could hit the target and opened the scoring with Tural Gurbatov. Going one goal behind, Gabala pushed all ahead to level and were able to struck this only in the closing seconds with Facundo Pereyra clinically finishing the cross from Mahammad Mirzabayov in the right – 1:1.

The result appears to be the 3rd draw of Gabala in a row.
