Match

The cup run ends for Ravan

0‑1 against Kapaz, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Market

Samir Ozobic 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.

Match

4 matches without a win for Ravan

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Agil Madatov

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings

A goal and an assist for Nicklas Bärkroth — 7.75

Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.75 beside his name.

Squad

Samuel Lobato 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 Ravan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Nicklas Bärkroth’s goal not enough for Ravan

Nicklas Bärkroth scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Khazar, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Words at Ravan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ruslan Bayramov 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.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Namig Huseynov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Richard Amirguliyev runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 36. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Ravan say no — this time

The offer from Qarabag for Ruslan Bayramov was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market

Shahriyar Amirguliyev hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Ravan can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Kamran Ramazanov, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.78

A mark of 7.78 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Richard Amirguliyev 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 Ravan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Ravan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Namig Huseynov 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.

Squad

Ravan lose Shahriyar Amirguliyev

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

The terraces

Ravan supporters have found a favourite in Kamran Ramazanov

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Kamran Ramazanov 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

Kamran Ramazanov the difference as Ravan beat Neftchi

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Kamran Ramazanov. 1‑0 against Neftchi, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
