Head coach of Azerbaijan national team Aykhan Abbasov expressed his views during the post-match press conference after the match (0-2) against Iceland at 8 KM stadium today within the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying round:
“We wanted to win points, we believed in it. Unfortunately, we lost. The strength of the opponent was clear. Iceland looks more compact collectively compared to Ukraine. We played better in the second half. We also had opportunities to score goals. We have the last match against France, and we will prepare for it.”
Note that Azerbaijan will play the last match against France within the group on November 16 at Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium.
