FC Neftci Baku was held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Karvan Evlakh at the Bakcell Arena in the Azerbaijan Premier League on September 27, 2025. This result halted Neftci's winning momentum and proved to be a missed opportunity to gain ground in the title race. Neftci dominated possession and created numerous chances throughout the match but found Karvan's goalkeeper in inspired form, pulling off several crucial saves. The visitors, Karvan Evlakh, defended resolutely in a compact block and offered a sporadic threat on the counter-attack. The key moment came in the second half when Neftci had a goal controversially disallowed for a marginal offside call after a VAR review. The stalemate left Neftci's manager lamenting his team's lack of clinical finishing in the final third.
