Gabala took 2:1 victory on Zira in the 19th tour of the Azerbaijan Premier League. The away match started with mutual attacks. The opener was scored by Zira’s Ilkin Muradov.
After the goal, Gabala’s Fernan Lopez went too close to leveling but his close-range shot was off the target. Nicolas Rajsel’s effort passed wide.
After the restart, Zira seemed faster but the Gabala defense held on clear. Going more into the second period, Elmar Bakhshiyev’s squad pushed harder led to another threat against Zira with Rovlan Muradov’s header denied by the opponent defense.
Then Fernan Lopez leveled before another long-range shot by Rovlan Muradov found the Zira network.
