According to Varzesh3, the head coach of Shams Azar Qazvin, after the 2-0 defeat against Esteghlal Khuzestan, protested the foul that Mohammadamin Rezaei committed on Mansouri and believed that the opposing goalkeeper should have been sent off and that VAR did not help the referee in this incident.

Vahid Rezaei said about the match against Esteghlal Khuzestan: The match started very well and both teams could have used their chances in the first half, and we could have reached a goal. The difference between us and Esteghlal is that they used their chances and we did not.

He continued: My question is this: why, when our striker is in a hundred-percent goal position and the opposing goalkeeper takes our striker's position away and fouls him outside the penalty area, did VAR not help us — and my question is, how is it supposed to help us, then?

Rezaei said: They took our hundred-percent goal opportunity, and when VAR calls the referee in, it means it should have given the opposing goalkeeper a red card, which it did not do. In the incident where we conceded a goal, our player was fouled again, but the referee did not call it in our favor. Overall it was a good match, and I hope we will make up for the run of results.
