Monday’s 2-1 win against Qatar’s Al Duhail SC – which took the Islamic Republic of Iran side to 14 points – was achieved the hard way as a second half revival saw Shojae Khalilzadeh equalising with Amirhossein Hosseinzadeh then netting a stoppage time winner.
“I am very happy with today’s game, we played a great game,” said Skocic. “We gave the penalty away too easily in the first half but otherwise we produced a good half.
“We had more scoring opportunities. We were able to press the opponents well and closed them with discipline. I like this way of playing and today we played a little more with our minds and thoughts.
“We have a long season ahead of us. Our achievement has been satisfying, but we are looking to the future. There is no one in the locker room who is satisfied with advancing from the first stage, but what has been done is respectable.”
Djamel Belmadi was disappointed after lapses in concentration cost his side valuable points, with the Al Duhail head coach saying lack of control shown in the centre of the pitch meant they couldn’t capitalise on Benjamin Bourigeaud’s opener.
“We were close to securing a draw, with only two minutes remaining,” said Belmadi. “At least if we couldn’t win, we should have earned a point, but in the end, we lost, which we didn’t deserve to.

Tractor FC have clinched its maiden Iranian Premier League title after a dominant 4-0 victory over Shams Azar in the 28th week of the season.

The championship was sealed after second-place Sepahan lost to Gol Gohar, leaving Tractor uncatchable with two matches remaining.

Fans in the northeastern Iranian city of Tabriz, where the club is based, flooded the streets in celebration, setting off fireworks and dancing in jubilation.

Club CEO Mohammad Reza Zonouzi announced plans for a public victory celebration in the city.

Under Croatian coach Dragan Skočić, Tractor secured direct qualification for next season’s AFC Champions League Elite.

The Croatian coach, who previously led Iran’s national team to the 2022 World Cup before being replaced, redeemed himself by guiding Tractor to historic success.

Key signings, including ex-Persepolis stars Alireza Beiranvand, Mehdi Torabi, and Danial Esmaeilifar, bolstered the squad.

With 64 points from 28 matches, Tractor lead Sepahan (56 points), while Persepolis, Foolad, and Gol Gohar round out the top five.

The triumph marks a milestone for the club, backed heavily by investor Zonouzi in recent years but falling short of the league title until now.
