Michael Boris and Elmar Bakhshiyev summed up the match in Azerbaijan.
Michael Boris:
"Our main goal was to go through to the next round, and we did that, but unfortunately we lost the game and missed a penalty. We knew that if Gabala scored the first goal, they would go for the second and try to put us under pressure. I don't like to lose, but unfortunately our performance in today's game was not enough, we lost a lot of battles. We have to correct these mistakes before the first league game, and we will start on Friday morning. Thanks to Gabala for the warm welcome and the great conditions, I wish them good luck for the championship!"
Elmar Bakhshiyev:
"We knew we were in for a tough game, as our opponents are a well-organised team, and they had a big lead in the first leg. I was pleased with the motivation of my players, we dominated today's game and with a bit of luck the result could have been different. I thank my team for today's game, we know that we have to be even stronger in the future to win these matches and I wish Fehérvár all the best for the future."
