According to Report, Zira's head coach Rashad Sadigov said this at a press conference after the 6th round match of the Azerbaijani Premier League, which they lost to Sumgayit 1: 2.

 The 38-year-old specialist praised the team's performance: "The second half was dominated by my team. I saw what I wanted to see on the field. We could not take advantage of our opportunities, the remote goal solved everything."

Sadigov also explained why Agabala Ramazanov was not on the field: "Agabala is one of our leading players. But he has just returned from a long-term injury. After consulting with doctors, we considered it appropriate to be on the field for 25 minutes. We were satisfied with his performance."
