Esteghlal approached his meeting at the Shahid Nasiri Stadium in Yazd with the clear objective of breaking the Indian mark against Chader Malou. From the start, the Tehran club opened the scoring thanks to a goal from Yasser Asani, thus taking the advantage over the locals. However, this lead was quickly canceled by Réza Mahmoudabadi, who reset the counters for Chader Malou.
Despite several clear chances and three strikes on the posts from goalkeeper Hojat Sedghi, Esteghlal failed to materialize his highlight with a second goal. Thus, this draw comes in addition to the three previous clashes between the two teams in the Pro League, all resulting in a sharing of points.
Of their four confrontations, two ended in a goalless draw, while the other two saw the two teams neutralize each other with a 1-1. Thus, neither team has yet tasted victory in this duel, but this series of ties offers a notable record to Chader Malou.

This team from Iraq is the first in the history of the Iranian Pro League to have faced Esteghlal at least four times without ever conceding defeat. Many clubs have sometimes resisted Esteghlal in one or two matches, but Chader Malou is the first to extend this invincibility to four consecutive matches.
Furthermore, Kheybar Khorramabad also shares this status of intractable opponent since he met Esteghlal three times without defeat, but the number of confrontations remains lower than that of Chader Malou. In total, over 26 editions of the championship, 50 different clubs faced Esteghlal, who faced 49 different opponents.
Of those 49 teams, Esteghlal beat 47 of them at least once, with Chader Malou and Kheybar Khorramabad being the only exceptions. This statistic underlines the historic supremacy of the Blues in Iranian football, who were able to win against more than 95% of their rivals.
Esteghlal still has the opportunity to complete this near-complete by defeating these two elusive opponents, but the last meeting in Yazd proved that breaking down these resistances will not be an easy task, contrary to what one might think on paper.
The rest
With this result, Esteghlal will have to re-evaluate his strategy for the next matches in order to get back on the path to victory. Chader Malou, for his part, will continue to capitalize on this invincibility, which could strengthen his confidence and his positioning in the Iranian Pro League. Both teams will now have to focus on their next opponents to improve their season.
