Champions League: “Karabakh” against Polish “Lech”

Today, in Poznan, at 22:00 Baku time, the match of the 1st qualification round of the Champions Football League between the strongest Poland Club Lech and the champion of Azerbaijan Karabakh will begin.

The meeting will be judged by a team of referees from Spain, led by Jose Louis Manura.

“Karabakh” was preparing for matches with Lech in Austria, from where he went to Poznan. The Gurban Gurbanova team held three control games at the training camp. The first meeting was defeated by the Romanian Botoshani (4: 0), and in the next two matches spent on the same day, Agdams tied with the German Holstein Kilev (2: 2) and another Romanian club “Universities Kraiova” ( 1: 1).

This summer, Karabakh intensified so far by one football player – the Montenegrin midfielder Marco Yankovich from the Tel Aviv Hapoel.

It is interesting that the lots brought the “Karabakh” with Polish clubs three times, and in all three cases our team passed the Poles. Moreover, the Agdams did not lose a single match.

However, Lech has a wonderful statistics of games against Azerbaijani teams: four confrontations and four victories in the sum of two meetings. But Lech has not yet played against Karabakh,

The response will be held on July 12 at the Republican Stadium named after Tofy Bahramov. The winner of this couple in the 2nd round will play with the Swiss “Zurich”.
