The Pro League match on 12th May 2023 saw Sanat Naft Abadan FC sharing a 1-1 draw with Zob Ahan Isfahan. The most impactful elements in this evenly balanced match were the quick goals from both teams, the difference in corner kicks, and the red card for the home team.

From the onset, Sanat Naft Abadan FC displayed their readiness to seize early advantages, scoring a goal 2 minutes 35 seconds into the first half. However, Zob Ahan Isfahan demonstrated resilience, stabilising the match with an equalising goal scored at 26 minutes 50 seconds into the first half. The quick response showed the competitiveness of both teams and prevented the home team's early lead from demoralisiing the visitors.

Sanat Naft Abadan FC proved superior in set-piece play, achieving seven corner kicks compared to Zob Ahan Isfahan's two. Despite the disparity, Zob Ahan managed to fend off the threats posed from these opportunities, hindering the home team's attempts to leverage the significant number of corner kicks to enhance their score.

Offensive play proved to attract disciplinary action, specifically for Sanat Naft Abadan FC, who received a red card. This played a fundamental role in constraining the home team to ten men, affording Zob Ahan Isfahan more on-field man-power and potentially altering the dynamic of the game.

Fouls committed were slightly higher on Zob Ahan Isfahan's side, with globally insignificant variations to dictate a tangible effect on game outcomes. Also, Ahan's single yellow card in the second half, did not have as much impact as Sanat Naft's red card.

In summary, despite Sanat Naft Abadan FC's early and concerted attempt to control the game, factors like Zob Ahan Isfahan's retaliation, the home team's red card, and the visitors’ staunch defense against set-piece plays contributed to an eventual 1-1 draw. Despite the opportunities presented by the contrast in corner kicks and fouls, these didn't translate into a victory for either team.
