Azerbaijan played out a 1-1 draw with Canada as Dimitrij Nazarov leveled the scoring after Tesho Akindele opened the scoring.

Dimitrij Nazarov converted a second-half penalty to help Azerbaijan to a 1-1 draw with Canada in Friday's international friendly in Austria.

The Karlsruher man left Simon Thomas no chance from the spot after Tesho Akindele had opened the scoring.

Azerbaijan dominated proceedings early on, but failed to find the net and was made to pay for its profligacy in front of goal when Akindele put Canada ahead with a calm finish shortly before the break.
