Esteghlal Khuzestan defeats Tractor 1-0 in Premier League

Esteghlal Khuzestan defeated Tractor 1-0 in the seventh week of the Iranian Premier League at the Dastgerdi Stadium in Tehran.

Tractor initiated the match with an aggressive offensive strategy, but an early goal by Shahriar Moghanlou was disallowed due to offside. Despite several attempts by Tractor players, including Seyed Mehdi Hosseini, the first half ended in a scoreless draw.

In the second half, Esteghlal Khuzestan capitalized on a fast counter-attack. Aref Rostami scored in the 54th minute; although initially ruled offside by the assistant referee, the goal was confirmed following a VAR review. This result marked the first defeat for Tractor in six weeks of play.
