Vouria Ghafouri Chosen Best Right-Back for ACL2018 Team
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Esteghlal defender Vouria Ghafouri has been voted as the best right-back for all-star XI in 2018 AFC Champions League.
Ghafouri appeared in all 10 of Esteghlal's games as the Tehran giant reached the quarter-finals for only the second time. The full-back's energy down the right was a constant threat to opposition defenses while he also weighed in with two goals, including a match-winning strike against Al Hilal.
In a poll conducted by the-afc.com, 92 percent of participants voted for the Iranian right-back.
Ghafouri vied with Japanese Koki Anzai, Lee Yong from South Korea and Zhang Linpeng from China.
