Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Cyrus Nouri started the match with the kick off. 4 minutes into the match, Rahim Shirzad had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Parham Kashi.
