Esteghlal Khuzestan v Esteghlal

PLDC - Ahvaz, Esteghlal Tehran visited Esteghla Khuzestan in Ahvaz today, and the result of the match was rather surprising.


In the 39th minute, Kolahkaj took advantage of Esteghlal Tehran's defensive mistakes and gave the Khuzestanis a 1-0 lead. To celebrate his goal, Kolahkaj ran towards his team's bench and hugged Abdollah Veisi.

The Tehranis seemed to have tied things in the 45+2 minute, but the referee called a foul, so the goal did not count.

Ali Bigdeli took a beautiful shot to give the Khuzestanis a 2-0 lead in the 75th minute, and the match ended with this score.

Esteghlal's defence was very shaky and faulty today, and their offence wasn't much better, as they failed to score. This match ended in the Khuzestani Esteghlal's favour, as they handed Amir Ghalenoei's team a devastating loss and sent them to the Tehran Derby psychologically depleted.
