Esteghlal Club, by publishing a statement, demanded to forgive Yasir Asani and prevent the expulsion of this player in case of a meeting with Esteghlal from Khuzestan.
The managers of this club, referring to the published audio file, considered the behavior of the assistant referee as the cause of the tension on the field and emphasized that a fair verdict requires investigating the cause of the incident, and not just the player's reaction.
Estagalal's statement stated that Yasir Asani is a player with professional ethics who did not behave in an offensive or provocative manner, and his anger and expulsion stemmed from the inappropriate language of Alireza Ildrum, the assistant referee of the game. According to Astagalli, the event played a decisive role in even changing the outcome of the game.
This club also noted that Asani did not receive a direct red card, and considering the sensitivity of public opinion and fans, asked the disciplinary committee to vote for non-expulsion, considering the actual circumstances of the incident and without discrimination between the player and the refereeing team.
