According to Mehr reporter, the Sepahan football team managed to defeat the Iraqi “Air Force” with a score of 1-0 in the fifth week of the Asian Champions League on Monday evening. This victory was achieved when Sepahan played one half with 10 players against their opponent. With this defeat, Air Force remained with seven points and lost the chance to advance to the elimination stage.
Iraqi head coach “Hassan Ahmed” reacted to the defeat of “Air Force” after this game and described it as a shock to Iraqi football.
This Iraqi coach said in an interview with “WainWain” news website: “The Air Force’s loss to Sepahan was not convincing, and this team could not take advantage of the dismissal of the opponent’s player and get at least one point.”
He also announced that the removal of the Air Force football team from the Asian Champions League despite the presence of many foreign players is a shock for Iraqi football, and the technical staff of this team did not have tactics and solutions to deal with Sepahan.
