PLDC - Buriram, After defeating Buriram United in the quarter-finals, Esteghlal will fly to Seoul directly, and stay in eastern Asia.

Esteghlal will face FC Seoul in the semi-finals of the 2013 AFC Champions League on Wednesday, September 25th.

The Blues of Tehran will travel directly to Seoul tomorrow night to face this South Korean team. FC Seoul defeated Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia and made Esteghlal's next round easier, because now The Blues can save plenty of travel time and have more time to rest and recover for their next match.

Inevitably, Esteghlal's league match against Mes Kerman which is scheduled for this Sunday, will be postponed.

Khosrow Heydari will miss the match next Wednesday, due to receiving two yellow cards in this competition: one against Al Shabab Al Arabi of the Emirates in the round-of-16, and another against Buriram United in Thailand.
