Jahanbakhsh shines, Dejagah, Ezatolahi score

Persianfootball.com – EMMEN, Alireza Jahanbakhsh continues to impress in the Netherlands on Friday evening, leading Jupiler League leaders NEC to a 3-2 victory over FC Emmen.

The Iranian gem scored the opening goal in first half, before assisting both other goals after the break, increasing his goal tally to 10 and assist tally to 13 this season in 22 appearances.

NEC remain on top of the table, already 15 points clear of second placed FC Eindhoven and seem to be on their way back to Eredivisie.

In Spain, Karim Ansarifard started for Osasuna versus Llagostera and showed a pleasing performance, but unfortunately couldn’t capitalize on his chances.

In absence of the suspended Javad Nekounam, Ansarifard penetrated the box early in the game, but failed to get his effort on target from slightly tight angle and under pressure from several defenders.

The 24-year-old then should have scored the opener when he beat the offside and found himself one on one with the goalkeeper, but saw his shot saved.

Ansarifard, who showed excellent skill on the ball during the match, had a final big chance shortly before being subbed out late in second half, when he did well to enter the box from the right, but instead of trying to play the ball square to a teammate, opted for the shot himself and hammered the ball wide of target.

A late goal from the visitors against the run of play in the end punished a once more sub-par Osasuna side.

Also in Spain, Saeid Ezatolahi scored another goal for Atletico’s youth team. The 19-year-old defensive midfielder scored the final goal in a 4-1 win over Rayo Majadahonda on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Ashkan Dejagah also scored a goal in Qatar in a 5-1 win of Al Arabi over Al Shamal on Saturday.
