Gabala shared the 21st tour match against Neftchi in 1:1. Sanan Gurbanov’s squad started faster. But the first half run goalless. Right after the restart, Neftchi opened the scoring. Shortly later, Gabala fed back. After Steeven Monroze took a telegraph from the right, the home side defence and keeper looked lost before the red-black player scored in his sixth league goal over the season. It appears also as his 19th goal ever for Gabala.
