From Rahmati to Kamalvand, the Curse Persists; Persepolis Still Can't Beat Khaibar!
Khaibar has not lost to Persepolis for the third consecutive match.
According to Sport Se, Persepolis could not find a way to win against Khyber this time. The match between the two teams at Takhti Stadium in Khorramabad ended in a goalless draw, so that after two wins last season, the green ones could take points from the red ones in the first meeting of this season and continue their invincible streak against this opponent.
Last season, under the guidance of Mehdi Rahmati, Khyber won both home and away games with a score of 2-1 against Persepolis. Two important victories that made this team known as the red-faced black cat. Faraz Kamalvand did not allow Persepolis to end this process in the first match of this season.
Of course, the recent match was different from the two matches of last season. This time, no ball crossed the goal line and Khyber was able to stop the attacks of Persepolis by relying on its defensive cohesion. Besides taking care of his own goal, the host had several opportunities to score, but in the end, the share of both teams in this match was one point.
In the second half, with the increasing pressure of Persepolis, maintaining focus became more important for Khyber players. The defenders and the goalkeeper of the hosts kept their goal closed until the last minutes so that the Red-faced team came out of the confrontation with the Khorramabad representative without a win this time.
Khyber now has seven points from the last three games against Persepolis. Two wins with Rahmati and one draw with Kamalvand is the record of a team that, despite the change of head coach, remains a difficult opponent for the Reds.
