Our national team defeated Tajikistan 1-0 in a friendly match.

According to Offsideplus.az, the head coach of the visiting team, Igor Angelovski, addressed journalists at the post-match press conference.

"I congratulate the Azerbaijan national team on their victory. It was a very difficult game. There are quality players in Azerbaijan. You have a player like Toral Bayramov. We also had our chances. Our results had been good up to this point. Although we couldn't score, we had opportunities.

It is very difficult to compare the current Azerbaijan team with the time when I was the head coach of North Macedonia. Five to six years have passed. The players are different. Emin Mahmudov and Mahir Emreli were playing then, and they are still playing now.

I didn't have any particular player that stood out. They didn't surprise me much. I expected them to be good players. I wish all of them, your football, your country, and your club success.

As for Oleg Baklov starting in the lineup, this is just a friendly match. We will be competing in the Asian Cup for the second time. I have three excellent goalkeepers. All of them will get a chance. It is normal to gather some information in football."
