Shahriyar Sadygov puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Ravan, and it is not being withdrawn.

Gabala take the points off Ravan
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Daniil Zyuganov gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Rahid Ramazanov runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

This league is too small for Fabijan Buntić
He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. Ravan will not keep him by pretending otherwise.
