Scorer, Passer and Captain Together / Iranian Trio's Celebration at Al-Ittihad's Home!
Shabab Al-Ahli's second goal against Al-Ittihad, featuring the combined effort of two Iranian strikers and their shared celebration with Saeed Ezatolahi.
According to "Varzesh Se", one of the interesting frames of the meeting between Shabab Al-Ahly and Al Ittihad at the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah was formed after the second goal of the Emirati team. Sardar Azmoun, who had opened the home team's goal for the second time, stood next to Reza Ghandipour, the creator of this goal, and moments later, Saeed Ezzatollahi reached them with the captain's armband so that the three Iranian players of Shabab Al-Ahli could be together in a common joy.
Azmoun had previously scored the first goal of the match using a high pass from Guillerme, but the second goal was the result of the cooperation of two Iranian strikers. Ghandipour, who came to the field after Guillerme's departure, showed his influence very soon and put Sardar on the way to the goal with a pass to the space behind the Ittihad defenders. Azmoun also used this opportunity to score a double and give Shabab Al-Ahli a 2-0 lead.
For Ghandipour, this goal assist was a special start in the match. The young Iranian striker, who started the game from the bench, got a chance to play due to Guillerme's injury, and only moments after entering, he played a role in scoring the second goal. His happiness with Sardar also came from this cooperation, one had made the goal and the other had hit the final shot.
In the picture, Ghandipour can be seen with a smile and clenched fist next to Azmoun, and Ezzatollahi is coming towards them with open hands. The name "Saeed" and the number six on the shirt, together with the captain's yellow armband, have made the presence of the Iranian midfielder more prominent in this frame. The scorer and passer were waiting for the captain to arrive so that the celebration of the second goal would have a completely Iranian atmosphere.
Ezzatullahi also had a happy memory of the confrontation with Ittihad and scored a goal against this team last year. This time, two of his compatriots in the offensive line had made and scored the second goal, and he joined them with the captain's armband. Three players with three different roles in the match, whose joy was recorded together after the host's goal was opened.
