Beiranvand: Tractor must build on defensive masterclass

Tabriz: Goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand emphasised the importance of Tractor FC continuing to be miserly in defence if they are to shine in the AFC Champions League Elite™ 2025/26 after picking up their second win of the campaign.

Monday’s 1-0 win over Iraq’s Al Shorta was the Islamic Republic of Iran side’s third clean sheet in four matches as Beiranvand and company produced another show of defensive resilience, especially in the second half when the away side pushed hard for the equaliser.
