Man by Man

ABERDEEN

JOE LEWIS 7

The big keeper made a good early save and couldn’t be blamed for the goal. Vital stop at the end.

ROSS McCRORIE 7

Commanding in the first half but left walking a tightrope after his booking at end of first period. Decent display.

DECLAN GALLAGHER 7

Strong and aggressive in challenge. Decent performance considering he hasn’t had a lot of playing time. ANDREW CONSIDINE 2 Veteran had a nightmare trip. His match lasted just 15 minutes before stretchered off with what looks a concerning knee injury.

CALVIN RAMSAY 6

Tried to get forward but never got into positions where he could hurt Qarabag. More good experience.

SCOTT BROWN 6

The captain’s influence of familiar surroundings was important. He battled in the middle of the park but it was a tough shift.

LEWIS FERGUSON 7

Midfielder went into the top 150 appearances in an Aberdeen jersey. He really came alive in the second half with an all-action display.

JACK MacKENZIE 6

Solid and powerful at left-back and when he moved in one, though he was left out of position at the goal. Set-plays could have been better.

JAY EMMANUEL-THOMAS 4

Striker did well defending at set-plays but didn’t hold ball up well enough at top end. Lacked mobility, no surprise to see him replaced.

CHRISTIAN RAMIREZ 5

Quiet night. He struggled to get going on a poor pitch. Did have a late chance but didn’t catch it.

FUNSO OJO 6

Belgian has made name for himself in recent weeks with strong running but couldn’t do that on this surface. SUBS: Jonny Hayes (Considine 15) – Gave good energy, 5; Connor McLennan (Emmanuel-Thomas 45) – On to add more pace, 4. Not used: Woods, McGinn, McGeouch, Jenks, Gurr, Campbell, Ritchie, Ngwenya, Hancock.

QARABAG

Magomedaliyev, Bayramov, Medina, Medvedev, Huseynov, Garayev (Ibrahimi 87), Andrade, Kady (Ozobic 78), Zoubir, Romero (Veskovic 87), Sheydaev. Not used: Balayev, Brazil, Almeida, Mustafazade, Zamora, Ibraimli, Gurbanli. Ref: Rade Obrenovic (Slovenia).
