Great Davari can’t save Braunschweig, Jahanbakhsh comeback in NEC draw

Already on Friday, Daniel Davari was Eintracht Braunschweig’s best man in a 1-2 loss against giants Borussia Dortmund. While Davari was chanceless against Aubemeyang’s brace, he kept his side in the game with a string of great saves which didn’t only earn him praise by German media, but also by Dortmund coach Jürgen Klopp.

“Davari alone had five world class saves”, Klopp told German state television ZDF. “Iran can be very happy about a quality national team goalkeeper, while we can be happy about three points today.”

Iranian youngster Alireza Jahanbakhsh gave his comeback after being sidelined with a thigh injury, coming on as second half sub in a 1-1 draw agains Go Ahead Eagles. The winger looked as sharp as before his injury and impressed with some good runs and passes and was unlucky not to help NEC to a much needed victory.
