Aluminium Arak 1–1 Malavan

Aluminium Arak let a point slip through their fingers against Malavan, settling for a 1-1 draw in the Persian Gulf Pro League. E. Shahriari struck early for the visitors in the 10th minute, catching the hosts cold, and Malavan looked set to repeat their last head-to-head win over Aluminium Arak. But B. Goudarzi pulled Arak level in the 52nd minute, turning a losing afternoon into a share of the spoils. The draw does little to change the bigger picture: Aluminium Arak sit fourth with 12 points and a form string of DWDWD, while Malavan remain down in 12th on 7 points despite a scrappy WLLLW run that shows they can still bite back when written off. Neither side can catch league leader E. Mahrooghi, who's still out front with 9 goals, but this result keeps Arak's momentum ticking and gives Malavan something to build on. Watch how Shahriari's early strike and Goudarzi's leveler unfolded, two goals eight minutes short of an hour apart that decided this tight Persian Gulf Pro League draw.
