After that, the guests in order to get to the next stage already had to score two goals. Neftchi, having built the right tactics, used its good moments. The second goal was scored from the penalty spot, which was earned thanks to an acute counterattack. The defender hit the ball with his hand. The penalty was realized by Dario Frederico.
The third goal was scored at the third minute added. The mounted ball from the free-kick, which was performed by Rahman Hajiyev, was successfully closed by Mamad Mboj, who had replaced another player before that.
