WSG Tirol 0–4 Qarabag | International Club Friendly
27 June 2026 – Qarabag FK, the Azerbaijani champions, made a powerful statement in their pre‑season tour by thrashing Austrian Bundesliga side WSG Tirol 4‑0. The match, played at a neutral venue in Austria, showcased Qarabag’s sharp attacking transitions and defensive discipline.
Match Overview
WSG Tirol started brightly, creating a couple of half‑chances in the opening ten minutes. But once Qarabag found their rhythm, they took control. The breakthrough came in the 23rd minute when Leandro Andrade finished a swift counter‑attack after a Tirol corner was cleared. By half‑time, Qarabag led 2‑0, with Abdellah Zoubir curling a free‑kick into the top corner.
The second half saw Qarabag continue to dominate. Two more goals — from Marko Janković and substitute Musa Gurbanly — wrapped up a resounding victory. WSG Tirol, still in early pre‑season, looked leggy and disjointed in the final third.
Key Points
- Efficiency: Qarabag converted four of their six shots on target, while Tirol failed to test the visiting goalkeeper.
- European pedigree: Qarabag, regular participants in UEFA club competitions, showed their experience against a side that finished 10th in the Austrian top flight last season.
- Fitness gap: The Austrian side will likely improve as their pre‑season progresses, while Qarabag appear ahead in their preparations for Champions League qualifiers.
The 4‑0 win will boost Qarabag’s confidence as they continue their summer friendlies, while WSG Tirol now know exactly where they need to sharpen their game ahead of the Bundesliga start in late July.
