Qarabag head coach Gurban Gurbanov attended the press conference following the match against Imishli.

According to Offsideplus.az, the experienced specialist complained about the condition of the pitch in Guba:

"I don’t understand how playing football on such a pitch can be permitted. Just a few days ago in Spain, they postponed two matches because of the state of the grass. I don’t want to say too much. When I voice certain criticisms, people say I only think about Qarabag. You don't need Gurban or anyone else to see the state of this pitch."

He continued his remarks:

"How am I supposed to prepare for the Newcastle match on a pitch like this? Now I have to focus on recovering 3-4 players. The players dealt with double the physical load. This pitch is a serious topic for discussion. We aren't the only ones playing here; I believe every team is complaining. I was just sitting there waiting for the match to finally end."
