The Azerbaijani champion won the home match against Eintracht (Frankfurt, Germany) with a score of 3:2. This was Qarabag’s 471st victory under Qurbanov’s coaching. The specialist contributed to 25 victories at Neftchi and 4 victories with the Azerbaijani national team. Of the 496 victories in his club career, 364 were recorded in the Premier League, 54 in the national cup, and 78 in European cups.
