Just one minute from sadness to happiness in Godarzi!
One minute after wasting the chance to score into an empty net, Hossein Gudarzi gave Esteghlal the lead again against Al-Gharafa with another shot.
According to "Varzeh Se", Esteghlal started the second half of the meeting with Al-Gharafa with a shock and Farjani Sassi managed to open the Blue-Poshan's goal. The Tunisian midfielder's goal destroyed the advantage of Yasser Asani's super goal and the match was tied again.
In the 59th minute, Ismail Gholizadeh sent a ball into the penalty area of Al-Gharafa, which was saved by Ahmed Koneh, but the home goalkeeper fell to the ground after colliding with an in-house defender. The ball reached Hossein Gudarzi behind the penalty area and he shot to open the empty net.
Gooderzi's strong shot went wide of the goal, so that Esteghlal's defender missed one of the best opportunities for his team to regain the lead. The regret of this scene was evident on his face, but Gooderzi didn't need much time to think about the missed opportunity.
Less than a minute later, Ayoub Mohammad Al-Alawi's mistake brought the ball to Guderzi in the center of the field. Esteghlal's left defender went a few meters with the ball and when he saw the shooting space in front of him, he tried his luck again from behind the penalty area.
This time Guderzi's shot was in the frame and Ahmed Koone could not block the ball properly. The mistake of Al-Gharafa's goalkeeper caused the ball to hit his hands and enter the goal so that Esteghlal took a 2-1 lead over its Qatari host in the 60th minute.
Esteghlal's second goal was scored in a situation where Al-Gharafa was motivated after Farjani Sassi's equalizer and was pushing to complete their comeback. Gooderzi's shot soon changed the course of the match again and did not allow the host to take advantage of the psychological conditions created after his first goal.
Gooderzi was able to open the goal just 60 seconds after regretting missing a scoring opportunity, and interestingly, this Lorestan player showed the word lor with his hands.
