Gabala lost to Qarabagh with 2:1 in the 17th tour of the Azerbaijan Premier League. The pace of the match started with a penalty by Richard Almeida opened the scoring.

Then Gabala’s James Adeniji in the left set up Davit Volkovi in the box but the latter’s header was off the target. Five minutes later, Rauf Aliyev was fouled led to penalty converted to goal by Javid Huseynov. Two minutes after the goal, Qarabagh went one ahead again with Filip Ozobic.

Ahead of the break, Gabala could have leveled again when Javid Huseynov’s free-kick found Bahlul Mustafazadeh failed to score with a close-range shot.

After the half-time, the sides were unable to score any single goal. Gabala’s James Adeniji and Steewen Monroze gave some troubles to Qarabagh’s keeper. The visiting side’s keeper Dmytro Bezotosniy showed his value for some times with great saves.
