MNA - Sajjad Feyzollahi’s
early goal sealed a valuable away victory for Foulad Khuzestan against
Esteghlal in the 15th week of the Iran Professional League (IPL) here at
Azadi Stadium on Friday.
Brazilian Luciano Valente sent a ball into Esteghlal’s box in the 6th minute
and Feyzollahi’s header passed helpless Esteghlal keeper Vahid Taleblu.
Referee Yadollah Jahanbazi refused Esteghlal’s Ebrahim Taghipour’s goal due
to being offside in the 53rd minute.
Foulad’s Sandro Dasilva and Esteghlal coach Samad Marfavi were sent off by
the referee in the 90th minute.
It was Esteghlal’s fourth defeat this season. The Tehran-based club remains
in third place in the IPL standings, whereas the win elevated Foulad to
fourth place.
