\"zobahan_castro\"AFC – DOHA, Iranian giants Zob Ahan overpowered 10-man Al Rayyan 3-1 at Al Rayyan Stadium to go top of 2011 AFC Champions League Group D. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year’s runners-up took the lead through Mohamed Reza Khalatbari in the 11th minute. <\/p>\n

Jaralla Al Marri quickly equalised but Igor Castro (Igor Jose Marigo De Castro) made it 2-1 in the 24th minute and, after Itamar Da Silva was sent off, Ghasem Hadadifar sealed Zob Ahan’s victory 19 minutes from the end.<\/p>\n

Zob Ahan now have seven points from three games whereas their Qatari opponents, missing a number of players through injury, lie bottom of Group D with just one point.<\/p>\n

Following a cagey opening, Al Rayyan skipper Fabio Cesar found national team colleague Al Marri but the latter shot straight into the hands of Zob Ahan goalkeeper Shahab Gordan.<\/p>\n

Two minutes later, Zob Ahan’s Mohammed Hoseini saw a powerful effort from close range blocked by Al Rayyan\u2019s Korean defender Cho Yong-hyung.<\/p>\n

However, the resultant corner yielded a freak opening goal as Khalatbari’s kick caught the wind and was carried directly into the Al Rayyan net.<\/p>\n

The lead did not last long, though, as Al Rayyan captain Cesar curled in a fierce free-kick which rebounded off the post for an unmarked Al Marri to pounce and hammer the loose ball past the helpless Gordan.<\/p>\n

But another Khalatbari corner saw Zob Ahan retake the lead midway through the first period. His delivery was met by a weak punch from keeper Soud Abdulla and Igor Castro, unmarked five yards out, steered the ball into the top corner.<\/p>\n

Abdulla was more secure five minutes later when he safely gathered Esmaeil Farhadi\u2019s instinctive header to keep the deficit down to a single goal.<\/p>\n

However, Al Rayyan suffered a further setback in the 59th minute when they went down to 10 men due to a sudden rush of blood by Itamar (Itamar Batista Da Sila), who in a fit of anger stamped on Farhadi.<\/p>\n

Lebanese referee Andre El Haddad calmed fraying tempers on both sides before showing the red card to the Brazilian striker.<\/p>\n

Gordan was then booked for time wasting but there was no further need for such tactics once Hadadifar made the game safe in the 71st minute.<\/p>\n

With time to size up his options some 30 yards out, the midfielder opted to let fly with a powerful left-footed effort which whistled past Abdulla and into the roof of the net.<\/p>\n
