The vigilance of Habib Farabbasi and Aref Aghasi stopped one of the most breathtaking attacks of the Qataris.

According to "Verzeh Se", in the last seconds of the first half of the match between Esteghlal and Al Gharafa, there was nothing left for the Blues to open. Zardpoushan, who applied the last pressure inside Esteghlal's penalty area in order to prevent their loss in the first half, in the last minute of the lost time, they went to the verge of reaching a tie so that Esteghlal could forget to breathe for a moment.

First, Adam Yunas tried his chance to score with a left foot shot from the corner of Esteghlal's penalty area. His shot was met with a good reaction by Habib Farabbasi, but this reaction not only did not prevent the danger, but due to the tightness in the area, it created another opportunity for the hosts.

The next scene was more breathtaking; Al-Gharafa striker immediately hit the stray ball in the air to open the empty net, but Aref Agassi's presence and alertness led to his shot being blocked. However, this was not enough to eliminate the risk completely.

Next, the host team had another chance to score. While the Al-Gharafa striker was on the ball watching for a moment to make the final shot, Habib and Aref followed him well in his unbalanced situation so that this opportunity was not provided to him. However, before he could do something dangerous, Arif Agassi showed himself once again and stopped him with a tackle.

Perhaps this was the most dangerous situation created on Esteghlal's goal in the first half. A scene that, if it had turned into a goal, would have completely changed the equations of the second half, but the goalkeeper and the defender of the blues prevented the opening of the gate and kept their team in the game, so to speak.
