French referee Willy Delajo, who will officiate the match between Tottenham and Qarabag in the first round of the UEFA Europa League, is no stranger to Azerbaijani football fans.
Oku.Az It is reported that Willy Delajo, who refereed the match between Qarabag and Finland’s HIK in the UEFA Europa League playoffs in 2023, is one of the successful referees of our team.
About a year ago, the French referee who officiated the match between HIK and “Qarabag” managed to win the sympathy of Azerbaijani football fans with the decisions he made in the match.
Thus, in the 16th minute of the match played on 17 August 2023, the referee showed a red card to Kuassavi-Benissan, a player from the HIK club, for the second yellow card, and then whistled a penalty at the opponent’s goal. The third minute is added to the main time of the first half.
It should be noted that the match in Finland ended with a 2:1 victory for Karabakh.
It should be noted that although “Qarabag”, which will compete in the UEFA Europa League in 2023, defeated “Braga” in the round of 16 and qualified for the round of 16 for the first time in its history, it lost to Bayer Leverkusen at this stage, due to the results of two games (4-5), the losing “horses” stopped fighting.
