PS - Group E: Bam Khatoon FC (IRN) 3-1 Etihad Club (JOR)

Hisor: Sara Didar netted twice as Bam Khatoon FC came from behind to beat Jordan’s Etihad Club 3-1 on Sunday and qualify for the Group Stage of the AFC Women’s Champions League 2026/27™.
The side from the Islamic Republic of Iran topped Group E with seven points to earn their third consecutive Group Stage appearance while Etihad Club, who were in with a chance coming into the match, closed three points adrift.

Leen Al-btoush, taking advantage of shoddy defending, put Etihad Club ahead in the 10th minute when she stole in from the back, picked up a cutback from Carrie Consolino and curled the ball past a rooted Raha Yazdani. 

Twelve-time IR Iran league champions Bam Khatoon’s efforts at an equaliser were hampered by poor finishing by Didar and Maryam Dini as well as Etihad keeper Sherin Al Shalabe, who constantly read their attacks in advance.

The custodian, however, failed to detect a lurking Didar in the 32nd minute, with the striker latching on to Melika Motevalli’s cross and guiding a looping header beyond Al Shalabe and into the bottom left corner.

Fatemah Shaban and Roujin Tamrian thought they had put Bam Khatoon ahead in the last five minutes but the duo was flagged for offside.

Motevalli and Fatemah Amineh and came close to giving the IR Iran outfit the lead after the break, but they had to wait until the 71st minute, when Shaban outpaced defender Alanoud Al Zabrey on the left and steered her shot beyond Al Shalabe into the right corner.

Didar then sealed the match with her second goal in the 76th minute after she collected a pass from Dini and, running parallel to the goal, chipped past the lunging custodian. 

The game ended on a low note in the dying minutes when Al Zabrey and Lana Feras of Etihad Club and Bam Khatoon’s Tamrian and Shaban were yellow-carded for a fracas.
