Persepolis drew 1-1 with Zob Ahan of Isfahan at the Azadi Stadium.
“We could have won the match against Zob Ahan but my players did not play as well as I wanted them to,” newly-appointed Persepolis football coach said in a post-match news conference.
Criticizing referee Mohsen Ghahremani, Daei added, “The Zob Ahan player received the ball in offside position and in the end leveled the match,”
