Taremi Becomes First Iranian to Score in UCL Quarterfinals

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Mehdi Taremi became the first Iranian to score in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.

Tuesday night, the Iranian forward scored an overhead kick into the net against Chelsea at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, Seville.

A 2-0 win over Porto last week ultimately proved enough. Thomas Tuchel’s team returning to the same stadium to defend that lead and edge into the next round, where Real Madrid or Liverpool awaits.

Taremi came off the bench in the 63rd minute as Marko Grujic’s replacement and scored a super goal in the injury time.
