"We lost this game. We had serious problems, especially in defense. Jürgen Goxa was playing with pain, and Jabir Amirli did not train yesterday."

Sabail's head coach Aftandil Hajiyev said this at a press conference after the third round match of the Azerbaijani Premier League, in which they defeated Sumgayit 1-0 at home, Offsideplus.az reports.

The 41-year-old specialist said that they played well despite the odds: "I want to congratulate" Sumgayit ". Aykhan Abbasov has done a great job. It is impossible to defeat them easily today. We spent a lot of effort. I think we have won a deserved victory. We could lose these 3 points. "Sumgayit" had goal episodes at our door. But in general, we managed to keep the ball well. We need to look ahead to improve our game. Today we gained 3 important points. We do not have much time to rejoice. We have a difficult trip to Gabala. "Gabala showed with its game that it has a claim to the Euroleague."

Hajiyev said that goalkeeper Kamran Agayev was injured: "Kamran injured his finger. Therefore, he was out of training and did not participate in test matches." (Report)
