"Unfortunately, we let a goal in too soon"
Milan Obradovic (Head coach of the national team of Azerbaijan): “Unfortunately, the first blow to our door resulted in a goal. In the first half, the game was almost under our control. I am satisfied with the players and the game we played. Of course, we are not satisfied with the result. We deserved to earn at least one point. The main change compared to the previous game was that we had control over the game. Unfortunately, we let a goal in very quickly. All this is a lesson for us. "
Leif Gunnar Smerud (Head coach of the nationl team of Norway): “It was a good start for us. We scored an important goal early. We fought well after the goal and created some good opportunities. However, we could not score the second goal in the first half. We could not increase the pace of the game and Azerbaijani national team took control of the game. I must admit that most of our players did not play at their normal levels. In spite of everything, Norway won the victory it deserved. "
