Kavlak talks right after the match:
-- “I wish much successes to every team in the new season. We did try to win the first-leg game, but although we opened the scoring, later my team allowed a goal by the opponents. We have watched a warm-up show indeed. Simurg is a good team really”.

George Chikhradze:
-- “I congratulate all on the initial games. It was a hard and interesting game. We showed resilience by scoring to level after accepting a goal. Drawing is a good result in a match against a club just like Gabala".
