The fourth week of the Women's Premier League / the dream comeback of Esteghlals before the derby
Tehrani Blues were able to present two different halves against Sepahan.
According to "Varzeh Se", in one of the most important games of the fourth week of the Women's Premier League, Esteghlal hosted Sepahan in the Workers' Stadium. The Tehran Blues, who lost to Khatun and drew with Gol Gohar in the previous two weeks, were a little far from their desired form, while thinking about winning today's game, Sepahan had not only won all three of their previous games, but had also not conceded any goals.
In the first half, the game had an even trend, but it was the Sepahan team that scored the first goal. The corner sent from the left wing was accompanied by a header from Talai Poshan, and while five blue-clad players were present, Fatemeh Makhdumi's incomplete save put the ball in front of Reyhana Kurdi's feet, so that she made the score 1-0 with a quick kick from one step away from the goal.
In the continuation of the first half, Sepahan had the opportunity to score more goals, but lost these opportunities. Although the pressure of Esteghlal's attacks did not go anywhere, it gave an interesting trend to the match. In any case, the first half ended with Pashan's golden win.
In the second half, however, it was the students of Maryam Irandoost who were able to turn the tables in their favor. Nilofar Azimi was the scorer of both the blue goals in this half and was able to bring his team back to the game. Of course, in the final minutes, the pressure of Sepahani was still high to make up for Mafat and they put a lot of pressure on the host's goal, but the good performance of Maryam Yektai and Ruqiyeh Jalal Nesab in the goal line and defense stopped the attacks. The most dangerous situation of those moments was a planted shot that was caught by Sana Sadeghi and Fatemeh Ghasemi hit it well, but Maryam Yektai took possession of the ball with her reaction.
Now Esteghlal managed to get its second win in this season. That too with the taste of a comeback to reach the derby against Persepolis with a double spirit. The competition, which is the first in the history of women's football, is going to be held next week.
