Baku / 07.11.19 / Turan: The champion of Azerbaijan FC Karabakh missed a great chance to gain a foothold in second place in the group stage of the European Football League.
In the fourth round in Cyprus against the local FC APOEL, the Azerbaijani champion lost in the match in which it had been winning.
The start of the match inspired the Azerbaijani fans, as already in the 10th minute, Maxim Medvedev hit the ball with a header from the corner, which was played by Dani Quintana.
The Cypriot team did not succeed until the 59th minute. During this time, the players of FC Karabakh had several excellent chances to increase the difference in the score. The goalkeeper of the local team at least saved FC APOEL in three hundred-percent moments.
The trouble for the Azerbaijani team began in the 59th minute, when FC APOEL used its corner kick. Sousa equalized the score with a header. Hope for a draw was destroyed by Efrem, who in the 88th minute with a spectacular blow brought victory to the Cypriot team.
In a parallel match of the group, the Spanish FC Sevilla beat Luxembourg FC Dudelange with a score of 5: 2.
After this tour, the leader of the group is still FC Sevilla, which has scored 12 points. FC Karabakh and FC APOEL have four points each. However, according to the results of face-to-face meetings (2: 2 in Baku and 2: 1 in Nicosia), FC APOEL is in second place and FC Karabakh is in third place.

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
