Athletistic / Football. Goalkeeper coach of the Russian national team Vitaly Kafanov appreciated the performance of Andrei Lunev in the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League between Azerbaijan Qarabag and Bayer Leverkusen. The meeting took place on March 7 in Baku and ended in a draw with a score of 2:2.
“In this match, Andrey played at his level, which he is showing this year. From the start of his performances for Qarabag, Lunev set the bar very high. I am not afraid to say that he is showing a very strong game, and Now Andrey confirmed this: “Bayer “I have not lost yet this season, this is a very strong team and Lunev looked very dignified in this meeting.
Lunev is not at all responsible for missing the goal. He did everything he could to save the team after the defenders’ mistakes. I hope that in the second leg the story of last year will not repeat itself, when Qarabag lost to Leverkusen with a score of 1:5. But in this meeting, Andrei did everything he could, but his team played below its capabilities,” Kafanov quotes Metaratings.ru.
The return match of the 1/8 finals of the Europa League between Bayer Leverkusen and Qarabag will take place on March 14 at the Bay Arena in Leverkusen (Germany).
