The Speedrod iran fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Hormoz Lahouti should have stopped the shot. When Armin Haghi fell near the penalty area in the 14th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Quhistan FC's protests and gave Armin Haghi a yellow card for diving instead. Armin Haghi hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. Saman Heidari sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.
