Gabala ended in 1:1 against Zira in away against Zira within the Azerbaijan Premier League’s seventh tour.

The match started by mutual attacks before the home side went into a warmer performance. Gabala were trying to set up counter attacks and at times Fernan Lopez capitalized on the ball but his powerful shot was held by the home keeper. Then Zira pushed harder against the Gabala defence, but our back line was held on and keeper Anar Nazirov gave some saves.
 
After the restart, it was Gabala looking faster when Fernan Lopez’s 20-meter drive passed over the woodwork.

Gabala coach introduced his first substitute Ulvi Isgandarov who converted a great cross from Merab Gigauri into the goal – 1:0. Just three minutes later, the host side leveled with Ilkin Muradov.
