Sabah Baku continued their impressive form with a 1-0 away win against FK Gilan Gabala in the Azerbaijan Premier League on February 16, 2026. The match's only goal was a moment of pure quality, a curling shot from just inside the area that found the top corner in the first half. Gabala, playing at home, responded well and created several opportunities to level, but they were denied by a combination of poor finishing and excellent goalkeeping from Sabah's number one. The second half was a tense affair, with Gabala applying sustained pressure, but the Sabah defense, marshaled superbly by their captain, stood firm to see out the victory. This hard-fought win on the road underscores Sabah's credentials as serious contenders in the title race this season.
