Although we lost to the Russian team, the girls performed well.

Offsideplus.az reports with reference to the AFFA press service that Siyasat Asgarov, the head coach of the women's national team of Azerbaijan, said this after the friendly match (0:1) with the Russian national team in Sochi.

Despite the defeat, the expert emphasized that the team performed well.

"It was a very good game. The Russian national team is strong both in terms of individual and team quality. We analyzed the opponent and seriously prepared for the match. It is true that we have several injured players. We were disappointed by the defeat based on the game played. The Russian team scored a goal not with some thought-out attack, but because of our mistake. Thanks to our team. Although we lost, the girls did very well. In some moments the advantage was on our side. We fought well, we were aggressive, we fought for every inch of the field. Unfortunately, we could not multiply in attack. We will prepare better for the second match. Our goal is to return to Baku with victory."

It should be noted that the second friendly match between the national teams of Azerbaijan and Russia will be held on December 2 at the training base of the "Sochi" club.
