"Qarabag played well again. They were leading 2:0 again, but this time they lost the advantage at the end of the match."
Idman.biz reports that this was said by Vitaliy Kafanov, goalkeeper coach of the Russian national team.
An experienced specialist evaluated the return game of Qarabag against Bayer in the Europa League round of 16. He also touched on the performance of the goalkeeper of the Russian national team Andrey Lunev: "When the first goal was scored, Andrey had little chance to save the team. He was unlucky in the second. Lunev did everything right. But luck was not enough. Andrey did his job."
Kafanov is wary of the psychological impact of the game: "I think that if it wasn't for the red card, they could have missed the victory. Andrey, in turn, did everything he could. Usually, such matches make goalkeepers and players mad. Football players take such a defeat in their hearts for a long time. I am more concerned about Andrey's psychological condition. It is important for him to quickly forget the painful defeat and return to the situation before these matches. Lunev is psychologically strong. I think that he will be able to leave this period behind."
It should be noted that Qarabag was leading 2:0 in the match in Leverkusen, but later lost by conceding three goals.
