The Ravan Chronicle
Squad14 Sep 2026
A fracture rules Maksim Mammadov out for 87 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Ravan will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Match12 Sep 2026
Afran Khalilzade leads the rout of Khazar
4‑1, and Afran Khalilzade took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Ravan tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.
Match9 Sep 2026
Ravan bow out of the cup
Kapaz go through and Ravan go home, 4‑8 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Both of them Afran Khalilzade's — 9.45
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.45, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Maksim Ismayilov scores twice — 9.05
Two goals and a mark of 9.05 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
The terraces14 Sep 2026
A cup hiding at Kapaz leaves Ravan explaining themselves
4-8, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.
Market14 Sep 2026
Chikhura come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Ravan did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Market14 Sep 2026
Agil Bayramov asks to leave Ravan
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Squad14 Sep 2026
8 past Samir Garayev
Whether it was the goalkeeper or the ten in front of him is the argument that will fill every conversation in town this week. 5 saves does not settle it either way.
