Foolad Khuzestan FC played host to Malavan Bander Anzali FC in a tightly contested Pro League match, ultimately losing 0-1. The only goal came from Malavan in the second half and their ability to break the deadlock proved decisive. Despite Foolad's advantage in corner kicks, with a tally of 8 against Malavan's 2, they were unable to capitalize on these set-piece opportunities, highlighting a lack of clinical finishing or effective aerial presence.

Defensively, both teams exhibited solidity, evidenced by a total of only two yellow cards issued throughout the match, one per team. Malavan’s defense was put to the test, particularly in dealing with Foolad's set pieces, but their discipline helped them maintain a clean sheet. Foolad, meanwhile, committed fewer fouls, tallying just 5 compared to Malavan's 9, indicating a somewhat controlled approach aimed at minimizing defensive errors.

Malavan's more aggressive approach, seen in their higher foul count, may have disrupted Foolad's rhythm, while their solitary goal shortly into the second half underscored an effective tactical shift post-break. This match's turning point was their ability to exploit a defensive lapse from Foolad early in the second period. Despite Foolad's pressure and tactical substitutions, they failed to penetrate Malavan's defense, resulting in a narrow but significant away victory for Malavan.
