Musayev said the club will appeal to the law-enforcement bodies if the appeal is not considered.
â€œWe had protested against Imankhan before the match. I met with AFFA president Ramiz Mirzeyev. He told me that all misunderstanding will be considered after the match. We will appeal to law and enforcement bodies if AFFA doesnâ€™t carry out investigationâ€, he said. Neftchi vice-president demands Sultaniâ€™s punishment.

Musayev said Sultani was biased in several matches before.
â€œHe was biased against Neftchi in national cup semi-final match with MKT-Araz in April. We appealed to AFFA that time and asked not to assign him to our games in the future. Refereesâ€™ Committee chief Ali Huseynov promised me not to assign him. I think Huseynovâ€™s was absent in the event when Sultani received assignment to the match with Olimpikâ€, he said.
