The head coach of Neftchi PFC Samir Abasov expressed his opinion at the post-match press conference with Zira in the second round of the Azerbaijani Premier League:

"We started the game well. The result is in our hearts. Our team returns from Zira with a victory for the second time. Congratulations to Ismayili and Vusal, they showed themselves very well, they did not fall out of the general ensemble. These words also apply to Kamran. I also congratulate Rashad Sadigov, he has built a wonderful team. We had an advantage in some episodes, however, it would have been even more difficult if we hadn't scored in a situation that was lucky for us and unlucky for the opponent. It is gratifying that we return from here with a victory. We will prepare for the return match with Maccabi.
