Match

Sporting Baku up to position 3

11 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Sporting Baku — 7.98

1 for Nəbi Məmmədov, marked 7.98, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Player ratings

A hand in 2 of them from Edílson — 7.92

Marked 7.92. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Squad

Words exchanged at Sporting Baku

Hüseyn Əliyev and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Zé Artur sends Sporting Baku past Shimal

It finished 3‑1, and it was Zé Artur’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Sporting Baku.

Squad

Words at Sporting Baku training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jan Čtvrtečka 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Ürfan Ismayilov

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ürfan Ismayilov, and the manager let it.

Squad

Eddy Huseynov out for 20 days

The medical room confirms 20 days on the sidelines for Eddy Huseynov, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout

A satisfied Araz Khalilzade

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 3‑1, Araz Khalilzade could afford to be generous.

Match

The cup run ends for Sporting Baku

0‑3 against Zagatala, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

The terraces

A cup embarrassment at Zagatala follows Sporting Baku home

0-3. Going out of a cup is one afternoon; going out like that is a week of phone-ins, and the manager will hear every one of them.

Squad

Wendell 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 Sporting Baku this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

One of our own: Javid Ismayilov joins the Sporting Baku first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Javid Ismayilov is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Sporting Baku promote Eddy Huseynov from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Eddy Huseynov has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

The dugout

No hiding place for Edílson

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Edílson, and the manager let it.

Squad

Words at Sporting Baku training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel Silva 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.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Sporting Baku

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad

Jan Čtvrtečka lets one through his hands

A defender's mistake gets tidied up by somebody else; a goalkeeper's ends up in the net. He knew before the ball crossed the line, and so did everybody in the ground.
