In the 19th round of the Misli Premier League, Qarabag secured a 2-1 away victory against Shamakhi.

Following the match, the head coach of the Aghdam representative, Gurban Gurbanov, commented on the departure of Nariman Akhundzade, as reported by Offsideplus.az:

"Of course, his move to such a club is not exactly heartening. However, given recent events, it was necessary for him to leave. He couldn't quite pull himself together after what happened lately. He needed to go so that he could find himself and recover."

Gurbanov also touched upon the failed transfer of Bahlul Mustafazade:

“There were several details involved. We had spoken about it. Let’s just say I was on Bahlul's side. Let's not go too deep into the details.”

It should be noted that Nariman Akhundzade will continue his career with the US club Columbus Crew.
