“Qarabag” held another European Cup match. Gurban Gurbanov's team, competing in the Europa League, reached its fifth match in the League stage. Our team met with the French club “Lyon” at the Tofig Bahramov Republic Stadium.

Our team played the game with the following lineup: 99. Mateusz Kochalski, 29. Marko Vesovic (2. Mateus Silva, 60), 13. Bahlul Mustafazadeh, 81. Kevin Medina, 27. Toral Bayramov (44. Elvin Jafarguliyev, 65), 66. Patrick Andrade (6. Julion Romao, 60), 8. Marko Jankovic, 7. Yassin Benzia (11. Emmanuel Addai, 74), 21. Alexey Kashuk (15. Leandro Andrade, 60), 10. Abdullah Zubir (k), 18. Juninho

Despite the fact that “Lyon” scored 7 points in its first four games in the League stage and is considered a giant club in France, our players fought without fear of the opponent from the first minutes. The first half was an even fight. Our team even surpassed its opponent in many components. Against this background, the guests opened the score.

However, this did not discourage our players. Our team, which took the lead, could have scored not only one, but even more goals before the break. However, luck was on the side of the French representative. It is no coincidence that in the first half, the guests saved the goal post once and the crossbar once.

The scenario did not change in the second half. Our team again regularly worried the goalkeeper of “Lyon” with its consistent attacks and created goal opportunities. However, the French were the ones who scored again. As a result, the opponent scored 3 more times in the second half. Finally, in the 88th minute, Olavio Juninho scored a penalty goal. Thus, the match ended with a 4:1 victory for “Lyon”.

It should be noted that “Qarabag” will face the Swedish “Elfsborg” club on December 12 as part of the VI round of the League stage.
