MNA – Esteqlal made a fightback to beat the
visiting Sepahan 2-1 here Friday as two of striker Ali Alizadeh’s trademark
long throw-ins were headed home by midfielder Maytham Bao.
Isfahan’s Sepahan took the lead after 12
minutes when Iraqi forward Emad Reza was too slow to beat Esteqlal keeper
Vahid Taleblu, but he passed the ball to Javad Maheri whose drive took a
vicious deflection off fullback Ali Ansarian’s leg, finding the net.
But the depleted Blues scored the winner
following another Alizadeh throw-in and a Bao drilling header from close
range. |
