Sergey Lushchan: Tough encounter, one mistake determined the whole result

The main clash of the 12th round of the Super League — the match between "Nasaf" and "Navbahor" — was remembered as a truly principled and intense encounter. In this match, held at the Qarshi stadium, the "Nasaf" team secured victory thanks to the only goal scored from a penalty. After the match, the guests' head coach Sergey Lushchan took part in a press conference and expressed his special opinions about the game.

"Congratulations to 'Nasaf' on the victory," Lushchan began. "The match was very difficult. It was a struggle between two equally strong teams, and the fight and ambition were high every minute. In the first half, our players had a complete chance — a one hundred percent opportunity, but unfortunately, we could not turn it into a goal. In football, making use of such opportunities is very important."

According to the experienced specialist, it was precisely the opponent's use of the penalty that decided the outcome: "The 'Nasaf' team opened the score with a precise penalty kick. This goal was the main point of the match. All our other actions and strategies continued until the goal. In football, the whole result can depend on one mistake — this is no secret to anyone. Today, we saw this once again," Lushchan noted.

Despite losing the match, Lushchan paid special attention to the effort, spirit, and fighting nature of his pupils. "The professional approach of our young players will serve as a foundation to return to a winning series in the next rounds. Every game is a new experience and lesson. We will continue our preparation and strive for the goals we have set," said the head coach.

It should be noted that throughout the season, "Navbahor" has always shown strong competition against its rivals. "Nasaf," thanks to this victory, further strengthened its position in the tournament table and continues to please its fans.
