Gabala lost the 17th tour match of the Azerbaijan Premier League to Sabail with 3:1 in away.

The pace of the match started with mutual attacks. Gabalas forward line seemed faster led to opener by Nicolas Rajsel. This was the French footballer’s second goal experience in the last two games.

After the restart, Sabail leveled with Mirsahib Abbasov shortly before going one ahead after a goal from Rauf Aliyev. Clesio Bauque’s some long-range shots set up threats. Then Fernan Lopez was forced off after a second yellow card. Sabail shot in their third after a penalty.
