Persepolis
Sepahan
Persepolis secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Sepahan in a match that showcased both their clinical finishing and defensive resilience under pressure. The home side took control in the second half through Oston Urunov's opener just after the restart, before Igor Sergeev doubled their advantage with a well-taken goal on 70 minutes. However, Sergeev's late red card in the 90th minute shifted the momentum dramatically, and Sepahan capitalized immediately with Ricardo Alves converting from the penalty spot to set up a nervy finish. This victory will be vital for Persepolis as they look to climb the table, while Sepahan will rue missed opportunities and the inability to capitalize on their numerical advantage in the dying moments.
