Gabala ended the last league match of the year in 1:1 against Sumgayit, within the 14th tour. The away game started with mutual attacks and Gabala gained the momentum going more into the first period. This led to an opener by Fernan Lopes seized on mistake from the opponent defense.
Sumgayit leveled after penalty by Peyman Babayi in the 31st minute. Late on, the latter went too close to his double but our keeper Anar Nazirov held on clear.
After the break, Gabala went down to ten as Nazirov picked up a red card. But it was the red-black team pushing ahead harder. In the closing minutes, our squad went down to nine after a red card against Gismat Aliyev. Then the visiting side defended well over 10 minutes and gave no chance to change the score sheet.
