Tasnim – Esteghlal coach Winfried Schaefer has criticized the referee for ruling out their goal against Padideh.
Esteghlal was held to a goalless draw by Padideh in Iran Professional League (IPL) on Thursday in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium.
Referee Zahedifar disallowed Esteghlal goal in the 79th minute but TV replay showed it was a correct goal.
“I don’t like to talk about the referees but it’s time to talk about the wrong decisions which have gone against us,” Schaefer said in the post-match news conference.

“Esteghlal played good during 90 minutes. We scored a goal but the referee disallowed our goal. It was a correct goal,” the German coach added.
“I think the referees don’t like us,” Schaefer concluded.
