Qarabag defender Bence Varkonyi: 'Dynamo are strong, but the result is what matters'

Qarabag defender Bence Varkonyi has spoken about the 2-0 victory against Dynamo Kyiv in the return leg of the Europa Conference League third qualifying round. The win in Baku secured the Azerbaijani side's spot in the next stage of the tournament.

The defender admitted that the team did not execute their tactical plan perfectly, but emphasized the importance of the final score. "Our plan was to control the game and win. Even if not everything went as expected, we achieved our goal," Varkonyi said.

The match lasts 90 minutes, and mistakes happen. Ultimately, Dynamo is a strong opponent. We tried to play confidently, and our goalkeeper made some good saves. Yes, there were errors, but the main thing is that we went through, and we will work on our mistakes. Bence Varkonyi

Despite the success, Varkonyi noted that the team needs improvements in both defense and attack. He also expressed satisfaction with his quick adaptation to the new squad since joining the club.

Looking forward to the playoff round against Dutch side FC Twente, the defender urged the team to remain focused on immediate tasks. The club is currently preparing for the start of the domestic league season before turning their attention to the Conference League tie.
