Hajizadeh to get in close and score another goal for kooochooolooo after 36 minutes, taking the score to 0 - 2. After 41 minutes, kooochooolooo's J.

The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 3. kooochooolooo enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 55 percent of possession.

After 58 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for A. Nasiri who increased kooochooolooo's lead to 0 - 4. The players of kooochooolooo now seemed to think the job was done and acted more defensively, just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle. The home crowd were delighted when Y. Arjangfar scored with a header after an attack from the right, making the score 1 - 4. But did he use his hand? That'll be one for the pundits to talk about after the game, that's for sure! Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by kooochooolooo, with 58 percent of the ball.

The most dominating KING player was without a doubt M. Bahri. M. Nosrati on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important kooochooolooo player was J. Hajizadeh. A. Akbarian turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 1 - 4.
