AZERTAJ MINI-FOOTBALL TEAM QUALIFIES FOR QUARTERFINAL
The matches of the mini-football tournament dedicated to 81st birthday of nationwide leader Heydar Aliyev were conducted at the stadium of the Baku State University April 30.
AzerTAj footballers competing in the “D” group clashed with “Sahar-JFK”. The latter team only needed a victory to qualify for the 1/4 final. However, two superb goals by Ramil Huseynov and Asgar Ibrahimov gained an early lead in the first half to AzerTAj.
Although, “Sahar-JFK” could net a goal in the second half Fakhraddin Huseynov’s goal in closing minutes took AzerTAj to the quarterfinal.
Thus, AzerTAj topped the group “D” just 3 points clear of the second-placed “168 Saat” that has one more game to play.
The results in other groups were as follows: “A” group “Adalat”- “Olaylar” 1:2, “B” group “Sharg” – “Football+” 2:0. The next round is due Sunday.
