The 20th round of the Azerbaijan Football Premier League has started today.
In the first match of the “Garabagh” tour at the “Azersun Arena” hosted the outsider of the championship “Sabah” and won with a score of 2: 0.
“Sabah” two days ago announced the termination of the contract with the Spanish head coach Vicente Gomez. Ramin Guliyev was appointed acting head coach.
Often, after coaching changes, the team is emotionally transformed and shows brighter football. However, Ramin Guliyev was unlucky with the first opponent – to play successfully with “Garabagh”, emotions alone are not enough. As a result, despite all efforts, “Sabah” lost.
In the 42nd minute, Philip Ozobich, and in the 73rd minute – Mahir Emreli scored a goal and brought “Garabagh” victory and at least a day the top line in the standings.
Sumgait – Keshla match will also take place today. And tomorrow they will meet: “Gabala” – “Zira”, “Neftchi” – “Sabail”.
