The match ended 2-0 in favour of the visitors. It was the second win in a row for Fuzuli Mammadov who had a rough start after the winter break. First-half goals from Anton Krivotsyuk and Bagali Dabo were all Neftchi needed to get the three points as they remain second on the log behind Qarabag FK. Neftchi now has 33 points after 18 games.

Meanwhile, Keshla recorded a big win over Zira with Shahrukh Kadoyev, Vusal Iskenderli, Shahrukh Kadoyev and Parviz Azadov all scoring to give the host an easy win over their opponents. The victory was a relief after the home side lost two successive games.

Matches in the Azerbaijan Professional Football League will continue on Sunday as Sabah will host Sabail, while Qarabag welcomes Sumgayit.
