The goal prompted the home side to step up their inroads into the Gabala defense, and Roman Grigorchuk”s squad held on and pushed hard to doubling their lead but they failed on some efforts of Antonov. Later on, Khazar Lankaran”s leveler was canceled by the Gabala post denied a powerful shot by host Rahid Amirguliyev.

The result was registered breaking the deadlock for Gabala after last 6 winless matches. Now the red-black side are sitting 2nd with the 7th victory of the season in total.
