\"pers-zob2010\"AFC – TEHRAN, Al Wahda claimed another AFC Champions League point after holding Piroozi to a 1-1 draw in their second successive Group C stalemate. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hassan Ameen gave Al Wahda the lead after 54 minutes, but they were pegged back 12 minutes later when Hossein Badamki equalised for the Iranian hosts.<\/p>\n

The result means Al Wahda remain unbeaten, with two draws so far, while Piroozi are off the mark with their first point in Group C.<\/p>\n

After a minute\u2019s silence to respect the victims of the earthquake and tsunami which have caused devastation in Japan, it was Piroozi who began to dominate possession.<\/p>\n

They had their first chance in the 15th minute when Gholam Reza Rezaei’s cross was met by Hadi Noroozi’s close-range header but goalkeeper Ali Al Hosani was alert and prevented the goal.<\/p>\n

Al Wahda\u2019s Brazilian striker Hugo threatened at the other end nine minutes later when he collected a pass near the edge of the penalty area and struck a shot which took a deflection and was gathered by Rahman Ahmadi.<\/p>\n

Basheer Saeed then took aim at goal from long range but was denied by the Piroozi goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

Alireza Nourmohammadi almost broke through for Piroozi a minute before half-time, but his powerful header from Gholam Reza Rezaei\u2019s free-kick was comfortably saved by Al Hosani.<\/p>\n

Hugo went close with a header early in the second half for Al Wahda, and they went ahead soon afterwards when Ameen received a pass inside the penalty area and produced a superb finish, finding the top corner beyond the reach of Ahmadi.<\/p>\n

Al Wahda almost doubled their lead four minutes later when Ismail Matar met a long kick forward from Al Hosani but fired wide.<\/p>\n

Piroozi pressed for a leveller but almost conceded when Nourmohammadi passed to Mohamed Saeed Rashed rather than a team-mate but there was no punishment.<\/p>\n

The equaliser came when Hadi Noroozi fed the ball to Mohammad Nouri and he picked out unmarked midfielder Hossein Badamaki to score.<\/p>\n

Piroozi began to look the more dangerous side and Noroozi sent a shot wide, while Mazyar Zareh also failed to find his range from the edge of the penalty area.<\/p>\n

Nourmohammadi might have pinched victory for Piroozi late on when he received a pass with his back to goal but managed to get in a shot which Al Hosani proved equal to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
