Gabala coach Sanan Gurbanov talks for a post-match reaction right after the 2:1 loss to Qarabagh in the Azerbaijan Cup semifinal opener. The 39-year-old skipper says:

"We knew it would be a hard game as the opponent side is Qarabagh. Our players worked really hard tonight. You need really a great resilience and tactical power to push Qarabagh out of the contest. I congratulate our footballers on the good result. Now we are expected by the final match and we don’t think about losing the game for the fourth time. We thought to score at least a single goal when the score was 2:0.

It’s no matter who is the final opponent as it is only one match. We are focused to gaining the cup triumph as a gift to former president of the SC Gabala Tale Heydarov.
