Azerrail has begun its quest for the European GM Challenge Cup in style, defeating Maltese champions Paola Hibernians in three straight sets, 25:7, 25:6, 25:10.
This was the very first European cup game for the Maltese team and it was a big difference in class and experience that predetermined the outcome. "If you had to compare the strength of our opponents in football terms, Azzerail Baku can be likened with top teams like Barcelona or Milan," Hibernians coach Mark Hili said before the game.
The return game will take place on October 17 in Baku.
