Qarabag
Ibrahim Sehic- 5.5- Solid
Made several key saves to keep his side in the match and was always alert.
Maksim Medvedev- 4 – Average
The 25-year-old didn’t offer much going forward yet was able to track back and defend well. However the Azerbaijani national struggled to contend with D’Ambrosio.
Badavi Huseynov- 5 – Good
Attempted to come forward on every occasion and provided support for Medvedev in dealing with the feisty D’Ambrosio.
Rashad Sadygov- 5.5 -Solid
Prevented Osvaldo from having a great influence for the Nerazzurri and was consistent in defence.
Ansi Agolli- 5 – Settled
The Albanian linked up well with Muarem yet rarely came forward. His cross set up Richard for the eventual disallowed goal in injury time.
Gara Garayev- 5 -Consistent
Was key in providing good cover for the defence and prevented the Italians from threatening much in attack.
Richard- 4.5 -Keen
Had his goal disallowed in the final stages of the clash due to an offside call. Came forward on every occasion yet was slightly eager and played the ball in too early.
Namik Alasgarov- 4.5 -Eager
Showed tenacity and continually came forward with pace. Yet the lack of quality in possession prevented him from creating excellent chances.
Leroy George- 6.5 -Threatening
Continually came forward with blistering pace and constantly terrorised the Inter defence. George had several shots on goal yet could not find a way past Carrizo. Easily the best player for the Azerbaijani side.
Muarem Muarem- 5.5 -Clever
Made several excellent passes that outwitted the Nerazzurri defence and created numerous scoring opportunities including a near miss by Alasgarov.
Vuqar Nadirov- 5 -Average
Was not affective as a lone striker and was not given proper service. He was replaced late in the first term due to a hamstring injury.
Substitutes
Namiq Yusifov- 4.5 – Quiet
Replaced the injured Nadirov and had a deep role but did little with possession.
Ilgar Gurbanov – 4 -Uninvolved
Was eager to contribute for his side yet a quality end product was lacking.
Inter
Juan Pablo Carrizo – 6 – Average
Made one clear save in the match following a strike from George, otherwise untroubled.
Isaac Donkor -5- Shaky
It was the 19-year-old’s European debut and he appeared unsettled. He was out-paced on several occasions by George but fell into a rhythm in the second half.
Hugo Campagnaro – 6- Solid
Solid presence in the Inter defence as his veteran presence was needed on the night for the young Nerazzurri.
Marco Andreolli – 6- Consistant
Ever the consistant defender, the Italian on occasions lacked pace to keep up with George however was able to read the play well and always remained one step ahead.
Danilo D’Ambrosio- 5.5- Eager
The Italian had a lively match and sought to come forward at any opportunity, however he was not able to register higher quality chances due to the lack of proper service.
Joel Obi- 5- Missing
Did not adequately assist the Nerazzuri attack or defence yet did win several free kicks for his side.
Yann M’Vila – 4.5 – Silenced
Offered little in attack and defence as he failed to provide good cover for the backline. His only real contribution was a late intervention.
Rene Krhin- 4- Wasteful
The Slovenian international was crucial in minimising the space for Qarabag’s midfield to create, yet was careless with his passes. Missed a fine chance in the opening 10 minutes.
Ibrahima Mbaye- 4.5- Subdued
Offered very little in attack and going forward yet was crucial in tracking back to help defend.
Dani Osvaldo- 5- Lethargic
The Italian played a deeper role in the clash due to the lack of adequate service for the attack. Demonstrated glimpses of his talent when he had possession, in what was otherwise a quiet night for the 28-year-old.
Federico Bonazzoli- 5.5 – Energetic
The 17-year-old Italian created numerous chances for the Nerazzurri. His late shot on goal after a long and pulsating run, forced a save by Sehic.
