Our team started the match, held at Azersun Arena, at a fast pace. By the 2nd minute, our players were already close to opening the score. The league’s top scorer, Leandro Andrade, failed to convert a clear opportunity. Continuing their dominance, Gurban Gurbanov's side finally found the breakthrough in the 35th minute. After a pass from Aleksey Kashchuk, Musa Gurbanli found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper, dribbled past him, and slotted the ball into the net. Although our team had several chances to increase the lead afterward, neither Redon Xhixha nor Musa Gurbanli could capitalize.
We remained the dominant side after the break, and it paid off in the 59th minute when the visitors had to retrieve the ball from their net again. This time, Kashchuk finished off an assist from Gurbanli. The remaining minutes saw both sides trade attacks, but the scoreline remained unchanged.
With this 2–0 win, our team now has 83 points. Qarabağ will play their next match at home against Kapaz.
