“As for the actions of the arbitrators, I think that there is no need for additional explanations. At the moment when the eleven-meter kick was awarded, I, like those around me, felt anger, but I was able to quickly regain my composure (laughs).
Such situations are part of football, they happen. Mr. President has already presented a comprehensive and correct assessment of what happened. I express my sincere gratitude to him,” Azerisport reports Gurbanova’s words.
Earlier, it became known about the statement of the president of Azerbaijan, who emphasized that referees approved by UEFA are trying to block “Karabakh”‘s path to success with their biased and ambiguous verdicts.
It will be recalled that in the 78th minute of the game, when the score was 1:1, the head referee Sandro Scherer pointed to the “mark” in the direction of the Azerbaijani club’s goal. It is noteworthy that before this, in a similar episode, the referee did not punish the German team with a penalty for a similar violation of the rules.
