We had to try it! And the risk paid off for Emin Makhmudov, the attacking midfielder of the Azerbaijan national team. In a match without stakes in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, the Azeri selection easily defeated Sweden (3-0) including a crazy goal from its number 8.
While Azerbaijan leads 2 goals to 0 and the match comes to an end, since the 89th minute is playing, Makhmudov, slightly off-center on the right side, just in the opposing half, triggers a half- powerful volley which flies into the sky of Baku only to fall into the goal of the Swedish goalkeeper Robin Olsen, beaten on this action. It’s a double in this match for Makhmudov, 31, who plays for local club Neftchi Baku.
Both teams are already assured of not qualifying for the next European Championship. In Group F, Austria, leader with 19 points, and Belgium, close second with 17 points, are already qualified and well ahead of the two teams who faced each other this evening, Sweden (3rd, 7 points) and Azerbaijan (3rd, 7 points). There is only one match left for the two teams, on November 19, against Estonia and Belgium respectively.
