"Araz-Nakhchivan" showed with their performance in the first match that there was reason to hope for a positive result in the return leg. In yesterday’s game, even though the team was down a man, they never gave up until the end."
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by the head of AFFA's Coaches Committee, Vagif Sadygov, in a statement to Sport24.az.
The experienced specialist shared his thoughts on "Araz-Nakhchivan," who eliminated Greece’s "Aris" and advanced to the third qualifying round of the Conference League: "The Nakhchivan representative continues to make history. Next up is the match against Omonia. In their current form, Araz-Nakhchivan is capable of fighting toe-to-toe with their next opponent as well. Despite being a man down against Aris, we saw a team that was mentally prepared. Now we've reached a level where European clubs take Azerbaijani teams seriously. Omonia is not a weak side. Elmar Bakhshiyev also knows the Cypriot club well. His work speaks for itself. I believe he will lead his team to even greater achievements."
Araz-Nakhchivan’s next opponent will be Omonia (Cyprus). The first leg of the third qualifying round will take place on August 7, with the return match scheduled for August 14. Araz-Nakhchivan will play the first game at home.
