The black-whites were beaten 0:1 in the quarterfinal first-leg home match against Sumgayit. The capital team had lost Sumgayit in a 0:2 (quarterfinal match of the season 2018/19) and Gabala in a 1:3 (semifinal match of the season 2017/18) at home in the previous unsuccessful Cup matches. Neftchi last home victory had been registered in the quarterfinal match of the season 2017/18 against Zira (2:0).
This result is the worst for “flagman”. They had not lost 3 home matches in a run in their cup competition history before.
