Esteghlal's Mohamadi denies Al Jazira spoils
Keeper in fantastic form as UAE side are forced to settle for a draw in Asian Champions League
By Yasir Abbasher, Senior Reporter

Abu Dhabi: Mohammad Mohamadi, the goalkeeper of Esteghlal club of Iran, deprived Al Jazira of a win in their AFC Champions League Group A match at Azadi Stadium in Tehran Wednesday as the two teams settled for a draw.
Mohamadi, who played a major role in his team's win in their first group match last week against Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia, continued his brilliant form and saved a number of fierce shots to earn a valuable point for his team who increased their tally to four from two matches. Al Jazira, in the meantime, collected their first point.
Al Jazira played the match without a number of key players because of injuries to Toni, Rozario, Rashid Abdul Rahman, Hilal Saeed, Saleh Obaid and Ricardo Oliveira.
Head coach Abel Braga fielded an unfamiliar defensive line-up that featured Saleh Bashir, Ali Al Amri, Khalid Sabeel and Abdullah Moussa.
And despite the absence of his key strikers, his team played an attacking game, forcing the home team to defend for most of the match.
Sabeel hit the bar in the 42nd minute while Fabio, Esteghlal's Brazilian player, also hit the woodwork three minutes later.
Al Garafa of Qatar and Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia played later in the group.
