“We started the game very well. In the first 15 minutes, we were active. However, later we had quite a few turnovers, which gave Gabala confidence, and they began to play well with the ball. We lost control of the game. Thank God we finished strong, won, and continue on our path,” said Emin Mahmudov, captain of Neftchi, speaking to sportinfo.az about their 2-0 victory over Gabala in the 9th round of the Premier League, as reported by Idman.Biz.
He noted that even though the team didn’t play their best, they still managed to win:
“In the previous match, we played better but couldn’t secure a win. Sometimes this happens. You can play well and not win, or not be superior in a match but still take all three points in the end.”
