0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Machine Sazi, who have the most conceded goals (15) in Persian Gulf Pro League, playing as the away team in the Persian Gulf Pro League this season.

Machine's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Sepahan that finished 3-3. A 0-1 loss hosting Naft Masjed Soleyman before that.

An inspired comeback made the scores level in Machine Sazi's duel with Sepahan. It looked bad at 0-2 but the team were not done and fought back to 3-3 after P. Babaei found the equalizer. As you can tell from the result, the match against Sepahan was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
