MNA - Tehran-based Esteghlal
football club was beaten 1-0 by Pegah of Gilan on Saturday in the 2nd week
of the Iranian Professional League (IPL) in Rasht’s Sardar-e-Jangal stadium.
The sole goal came 30 minutes into the second half when Adriano Alves scored
a header.
Pegah took a sweet revenge as the club suffered a defeat in Iranian League
Cup to Esteghlal last season. A good performance was enough to bag three
important points for the Pegah.
The visiting team put Pegah under pressure and scored a goal six minutes
from time by Piruz Ghorbani but referee Rahim Rahimi-Moghaddam ruled that
out because of offside.
