The first round matches of the Azerbaijan Premier League took place.

Turan Tovuz, led by Kurban Berdiyev, played away against Neftchi.

But the winner of this fight was not determined. The match ended with a score of 0:0. Both clubs earned their first points in the championship.

“In general, we assumed that the game would be tough. Neftchi is a good team. This game revealed our shortcomings and the direction in which we need to work. I am pleased with the dedication. We need to work on the attack. The guys know how to play, and they will cope with it over time,” azerisport.com reports Kurban Berdiyev as saying.

Last season, Turan finished the championship in sixth place, Neftchi in fifth. Then, Karabakh became the champion. In the new season, Turan, led by the new coach Berdiyev, expects to show a higher result.
