Head coach of “Karabakh” Gurban Gurbanov summed up the match with Marseille (0: 3) and commented on the episode when he asked his footballers to inform the chief arbitrator that the ball sent to the French gate was scored.
Recall, with the score 1: 0 in favor of the “Marseille” striker “Karabakh” Ibrahim Vaji scored a goal. The Polish arbiter did not see the violation, and the goal did not count. The French were actively protested, but the judge was not going to change the decisions. At that moment, Gurban Gurbanov called Vajdi and Captain Maxvedev, after which Vaji and Medvedev said the referee that the goal was scored by her hand. As a result, the goal was canceled.
“I entered as a true Azerbaijani,” says Gurbanov. “I don’t want to discuss this particularly. I don’t think that the fans will be offended by me because of this. I called the football player and asked: you played my hand or the ball got to you. In hand? He said he played his hand. After that, I was easy to make a fair decision.
As for the game, we wanted to show an attacking, aggressive football. I was satisfied with the players. They played great. Just 10 minutes before the end of the match everything was clear. The opponent implemented all three headed episodes. “
