Gadzhiev explained that coming off the bench in the final minutes was a tactical move by the coaching staff aimed at boosting the attacking threat. He found himself in the right position to capitalize on a loose ball, securing the win for his side.

The player emphasized that starting the season with a win is vital for the team's morale and confidence. Despite a challenging start, earning three points sets a positive tone for the squad as they look ahead to their upcoming fixtures in the league.
