In the same scenario one year ago, Naft defeated El Jaish 1-0. This time El Jaish were determined to not let history repeat itself.<\/p>\n<p>Just after the hour, a ball sent into the Naft penalty area by Mohamed Mothnani wasn&#8217;t cleared to safety. Instead, the ball went high up into the air and fell to Abdo Hamdallah. The Moroccan striker easily fought off defender Siamak Kouroshi and half-volleyed the ball into the net past Naft keeper Alireza Beiranvand to give El Jaish a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Naft pushed forward and did everything they could to try to find the equalizer but were officially finished in the fourth minute of stoppage time when Romarinho scored on a breakaway to give El Jaish the 2-0 victory.<\/p>\n<p>The win means that El Jaish will play in Group D of the AFC Champions League.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of the-afc.com<\/em><\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NAFT TEHRAN vs EL JAISH: AFC Champions League 2016 (Playoffs)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2Dxlky7gxhM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PFDC &#8211; TEHRAN, In a match where seven yellow cards were handed out, El Jaish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23098,"featured_media":24254,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[87],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c14-ipl-league-persian-gulf-cup"],"views":1795,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23098"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24251\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
