Neftchi midfielder Yusuf Laval made a statement after the match with Sabah. The Nigerian footballer said that the victory was very important from a psychological point of view:

"I'm still not in optimal shape, but I'm trying to get back in top form. The head coach also demands it from me. Of course, I will cope with it. This victory was very important from a psychological point of view. Because we had to come to our senses after the defeat to "Zira". We must continue like this. If we continue like this, we will reach our goal at the end of the season. It is not inaccessible. Because now we are in the first step of the tournament schedule.

Laval also commented on the fifth productive pass of the season: “I did not set a goal to be the first in terms of the number of assists. My goal is for our team to finish the season with the best result.
