Zob Ahan loses in AFC Champions League final

In AFC Champions League final Zob Ahan faces a worst defeat against South Korea’s Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma in the final match.

All over the season, Zob Ahan had a good run this event, he is the Iranian league leader but lost to Seongnam 3-1 and the dream of winning the title for the first time didn’t come true.

Though Zob Ahan had put lots of pressure on Seongnam but still fall short on scoreboard to win,Sasa Ognenovski put the Koreans into the lead in the 29th minute.

After Seongnam hitting second goal for his side,Zob didn't gave up and scored a first goal in 67th minutes when Mohammad-Reza Khalatbari opened the goal.

Kim Cheol Ho rubbed salt into Zob Ahan’s wound with seven minutes remaining to the match.

Pas is the last Iranian team which was crowned Asian champions in 1993, although fellow countrymen Sepahan did reach the 2007 Champions League final where they went down 3-1 over two legs to Urawa Red Diamonds of Japan.
