Qarabag manager Gurban Gurbanov shared his thoughts on the match during the post-game press conference following the clash with Twente.

According to Offsideplus.az, the experienced specialist first congratulated his players and expressed his gratitude to the fans for their support:

"First of all, I want to congratulate my players. They fought very well, played properly, and put in a huge effort. As a team, this is our third time coming here, and every time we enjoy this stadium and its match atmosphere even more. I would like to thank both sets of fans. Our supporters cheered us on without stopping for a single minute."

While emphasizing the importance of the result, Gurbanov also noted that the return leg will be tough:

"It was a very pleasant and important victory, but this is only the first half. Ahead of us is the second leg in Baku. Twente is a team capable of playing faster and creating dangerous scoring opportunities. We must be even more focused and disciplined in the Baku match so that we are the side advancing after two legs."
