Player ratings

A first appearance Bahlul Ismayilov will want to forget — 5.78

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.78, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Squad

Sandro Altunashvili in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Inter this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Umut Yildiz the difference as Inter beat Kapaz

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Umut Yildiz. 3‑1 against Kapaz, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The terraces

Inter supporters have found a favourite in Namig Mammadov

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Namig Mammadov has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Umut Yildiz at the heart of a fast Inter start

2 goals inside twenty minutes with Umut Yildiz in the middle of it, and Kapaz unable to get near the ball long enough to change anything. Some matches are won before the first drink.

Squad

Inter lose Rahid Guseynov

17 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

Words at Inter training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kerem Akgun is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings

One of those days for Umut Yildiz

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.10, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

A promise honoured for Rufat Ramazanov

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Inter told Rufat Ramazanov something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

In brief

Back issues

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A fracture rules Maksim Abdullayev out for 25 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Inter will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Rahid Guseynov: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Inter have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

4 matches without a win for Inter

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Inter are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Javid Guseynov in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Inter this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Sandro Altunashvili falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Inter come up short against Zira

Zira left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Loan watch

Kamran Bayramov wants to come home

“I did not go to Gabala to sit and watch. I want to come back to Inter and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 13 matches say the rest.

Player ratings

Off the pace: Javid Guseynov

A mark of 5.60 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Player ratings

An afternoon Rufat Ramazanov will want back

Marked 5.62. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.

In brief
