"Successful evening for Azerbaijani football."
Idman.biz reports that these words were spoken to AZERTAC by Stanislav Cherchesov, former head coach of the Russian national team and Hungary's Ferencvaros, and currently managing FC Akhmat, commenting on Qarabag's 3:1 victory over his former team in the UEFA Champions League play-off round.
He noted that the score says it all: "I didn’t watch the match, so I can’t comment specifically on the players’ performance. However, the result shows who was stronger. After this score, Qarabag is considered the favorite of the tie. A two-goal advantage is significant. That said, the return leg will not be easy. At this level, every detail can be decisive. I congratulate Gurban Gurbanov and Qarabag on the victory. The 3:1 score shows the stronger side won. I wish them continued success."
The return match between the teams will take place on August 27 at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium.
