The reds’ toast, Entezari, turned provider 17 minutes after the break, feeding midfielder Ebrahim Assadi, whose low drive took a vicious deflection off defender, kissing the net.

Abu Moslem scored its consolation goal on 77 minutes, when Kheiri slid a superb pass for Mojtaba Jabbari, who stunned keeper Mohammad Mohammadi with a spectacular side-footed kick.

The narrow victory helped the reds occupy the second slot on 55 points while Abu Moslem remained in the seventh place with 38 points.
