Yasir Asani returns to the Asian Champions League, where he once gave a spectacle with the Gwangju team. The red and black striker immediately leaves his mark, already in the first challenge of this tournament, this time with the Esteghlal shirt. Against Al-Sadd, Asani only needed 9 minutes of play to find the advantage goal.
The red and black “Sallaksi” showed a real “bomber” flair by stealing a ball very close to the fatal line and with a strong left inside the area he shook the net. Asani was also the protagonist at the start of the second half by donating a clean assist which brought the second goal for Esteghlal. The team from Iran made a perfect start to this edition of the Asian Champions League by coming out with 3 points after a clean 3-0 success.
Jasir Asani was declared the player of the match, rated 8,3. With 1 goal and 1 assist in the Champions League, Asani sends a long-distance "sms" to coach Rolando Maran.
