The Baku-based team faced Moldova’s "Petrocub" away from home, Idman.biz reports.
The team, coached by Valdas Dambrauskas, traveled to Chisinau in search of a victory. After losing to Slovenia's Celje in the Europa League, the Azerbaijani Cup holders bounced back in Europe’s third-tier club competition.
