During the second leg of the Azerbaijani Cup semi-final between Sumgayit and Baku's Keshley (the first game - 0: 1), Ukrainian coach Yuri Maksimov reacted brutally to the rough game of one of his team's rivals. After that, a scuffle ensued, which ended with the removal of Maksimov from the technical zone.

Note that Maximov has already apologized for the incident, now the Ukrainian specialist is likely to expect a lengthy disqualification.

"I apologize for the incident in the match. At that moment I wanted to calm the players. If Cesar would have hit the opponent in this situation, then in the final we would have stayed without him. Players of Sumgayit wanted him to receive a card and missed the final. In general, we played well and now in the final. I am grateful to the players for this..

When the team plays well - the coach is praised, and when on the contrary, the pressure is applied. Its OK now. Therefore it is difficult to say a unequivocal opinion. Perhaps today I will be in one place, and tomorrow in another. This is the work of the coach. Specifically, I can say that I will be here until the completion of the contract, "- quotes Maksimov kaspiy. az.

Keshla beat Sumgait and reached the final of the Azerbaijan Cup, where she will play with Gabala Roman Grigorchuk.
