"After the away victory, it was clear that Qarabag would overcome Shkendija in Baku. In fact, a big win was expected, and that’s exactly what happened."
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by Arif Asadov in an interview with Sport24.az.
The experienced specialist commented on Qarabag’s 5:1 demolition of Shkendija in the return leg of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round, which secured their place in the play-offs: “It’s true that the first goal was conceded by the Agdam team, but the team increased its pace and attacks, and the goals came consecutively. Qarabag had already clarified everything in the first half. Over time, the team improves its gameplay and raises its quality. The new players are starting to adapt to the squad. In this regard, Qarabag has a good chance to represent our country in the Champions League group stage. I hope everything goes as Qarabag wishes.”
Gurban Gurbanov’s team will play their first match against Ferencvaros away on August 19. The return leg will take place on August 27 at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium.
