The conquest of "Olympos" mountain - the rise of "Karabakh" / PHOTOREPORT

Yesterday, at 20:45 (in Baku time), "Karabakh" played its next match in the UEFA Europe League group stage 4th round match. The opponent was "Olympiakos", which the representative of Azerbaijan defeated in Greece by 3 points. The Greeks came to Baku 3 points after their home defeat. But the Greek club's intentions were contradictory.

The road to Mount "Olympus"

By winning this match "Karabakh" can be more confident in the next 2 matches in the group stage. But the 1 point earned by our team makes it possible to keep those chances and continue the journey in 'AL'. The 2 matches played by the representative of Azerbaijan against the Greeks were literally the conquest of Mount Olympus. Although "Olympiakos" in the first basket of the draw was initially perceived by the fans as the toughest opponent, the game our team showed proved that this was just a guess. This club's 0:3 defeat in Greece literally shook Mount Olympus. The shaking mountain "Olympus" came to Baku in search of its hopes. Aghdam representative, who put pressure on the Greeks from the first minute, left his opponent without the ball during the game. Forced to play this way, "Olympiakos" preferred the defense system and kept their hopes for points. As you can see from the match, all these hopes were just to get the first point in the group. In fact, this 1 point gain is nothing more than an incentive tactic. Although the rain that started in the second half of the match affected the game a little, "Karabakh" kept its playing style. With this, our team renewed their undefeated streak. Thus, "Karabakh" did not lose and conceded a goal in their last 3 matches in the group.

The real situation in the group lies before us. Greek club "Olympiakos", the first name from the basket, is currently in the last place in the group with 1 point. Our team is progressing successfully. There is an away game (against Nantes), a home game (against Freiburg) waiting for them. After 4 matches, "Karabakh" is currently in the second place in the group with 7 points. The record holder of our group is the German club "Freiburg", which made 4/4.
