While Naveen kept his end of the bargain, the Pirates’ left-corner defender Mohammadreza Shadloui Chiyaneh – who was expected to derail the ‘Naveen Express’ – had a tame evening in defence. The Iranian defender managed just two tackle points, but did manage to contribute with one touch and two tackle points while raiding in the final moments of the match.
