Esteghlal defeated Sepahan with a goal from Roozbeh Cheshmi
In the beginning of the eighteenth week of the Iranian Premier League football, Esteghlal men’s football team managed to defeat Sepahan at Azadi Stadium with a single goal scored by the determined header of Roozbeh Cheshmi in the second half, bringing their points to 39 at the top of the table.
This is the sixth consecutive loss for Sepahan in their last 6 matches, which could indicate a crisis for the Isfahan Yellow-Reds.
After suffering defeats due to the absence of several key players in the final 3 matches of the first half of the season, Sepahan also lost in the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League with a similar 3-1 result to Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia. Today, Wednesday, the players of this team will step into Azadi Stadium after 5 consecutive losses.
