TEHRAN – Shahrdari Sirjan has defeated Indian club Sree Gokulam Kerala FC 1-0 in the AFC Women’s Club Championship 2021 at Jordan’s Aqaba Development Corporate Stadium.
After a goalless first half, Iran’s Shahrdari Sirjan broke the deadlock just after the hour mark through Afsaneh Chatrenoor’s superb free-kick to seal three points, with the goal coming minutes after Gokulam Kerala goalkeeper Aditi Chauhan had been sent off.
The result puts Shahrdari Sirjan - who defeated Uzbekistan’s FC Bunyodkor FC 2-1 in their opener - on six points and in a comfortable position going into its final match against Jordan’s Amman Club on Saturday, while India’s Gokulam Kerala will play for pride against Uzbekistan’s FC Bunyodkor.
