Qarabag were ahead by half-time, with both of their goals down to errors from the young defender Jorrel Hato. He was beaten far too easily by Camilo Duran, whose shot came off the post and was tapped home by the impressive Leandro Andrade. Shortly thereafter, Hato conceded a penalty, dispatched by Marko Jankovic to put Qarabag 2-1 up at the break.
