“Of course we are very disappointed. We were very close to the quarter finals.”
Qarabag football player Bahlul Mustafazadeh stated this to İdman.biz.
Returning from the return match of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League against Bayer in Germany, the defender of the Azerbaijani champion expressed his opinion about the meeting:
“Perhaps before the game no one would have thought that there would have been such a scenario that we would have been so close to reaching the next round. We regret it. On the other hand, we are proud of ourselves that we played such a game against such an opponent and missed the chance to pass the stage in the last minutes.”
Bahlul also commented that he was unable to take advantage of the opportunity to score a goal in the final minutes of stoppage time:
“Perhaps it was the last minute, fatigue showed. I wanted to score myself. This ball wouldn’t have brought victory either, we would have had to play for another 30 minutes.”
Mustafazadeh also expressed his opinion about injury time and the red card:
“We thought about winning. We played well against them in Baku. We came with the motivation set by the Baku meeting. We were very close to it during the game. I can’t say anything about the fact that an extra minute was added. I don’t think that the episode “I got a red card with Elvin. Because I also took part in this episode.”
It should be noted that Qarabag lost with a score of 2:3 in the match held at the BayArena in Leverkusen, ending the European Cup season.
