Vagif SadÄ±gov: Azerbaijan team did not score one point but lost two to Kazakhstan

â€œWe didnâ€™t score one point but lost two in the match against Kazakhstanâ€, Vagif Sadigov, former Azerbaijan squad head coach, told APA-Sport.
Sadigov stated that our team failed to gain first victory in official visit match.
â€œWe were very close to gain victory but we failed. There are both objective and subjective reasons. Tiredness and loss in the team had obvious impact. Head coach replaced 4 footballers in line-up compared to previous against Polandâ€, he said.
Though Kazakhstan played most time in minority, it managed to equalize the score. Sadigov explained captain Aslan Kerimovâ€™s blunder in goal episode with his injury.
â€œInjury didnâ€™t let Aslan Kerimov play with all strength. Despite the draw our team ruled the game from the beginning. We will have a fighting teamâ€, he said. /APA-Sport/
