Persepolis Defeats Zob Ahan 1-0 in Iran Persian Gulf Pro League

Persepolis secured a 1-0 victory over Zob Ahan in the latest Iran Persian Gulf Pro League showdown. The match, which took place at Isfahan’s Fooladshahr Stadium, saw Giorgi Gvelesiani successfully convert a penalty just nine minutes into the game after being fouled in Zob Ahan’s area.

Zob Ahan’s challenges were further compounded in the 53rd minute when Mohsen Azarbad received a straight red card for a violent foul on Persepolis’ Ali Nemati, reducing the team to 10 men. Despite their numerical disadvantage, Zob Ahan created numerous opportunities but failed to capitalize on them.
