Gabala coach Elmar Bakhshiyev talks for a post-match reaction right after the 1:1 away draw against Sumgayit in the 14th tour of the Azerbaijan Premier League. The 39-year-old skipper says:

“We knew about the hard match. Sumgayit play well at home. They are a good team built up by strong footballers. I’m not satisfied by the match quality. But anyway I congratulate our team on a single point after such a down go on the show.

Going about the red cards, it’s not the referee’s fault as our footballers violated the rules. They will be punished in the club discipline rules. 

It’s gratifying that some other clubs are interested in our players, but we will try and keep them at the club. We are working in our best for better future of the club. I’m convinced this club will live longer and play better”.
