Aluminium Arak salvaged a crucial point in their relegation battle after Javad Aghaeipour's 83rd-minute equalizer canceled out Mehdi Najafi's first-half opener for Paykan. The hosts endured a frustrating afternoon after falling behind just before the break, but their persistence paid off when Aghaeipour found the net with seven minutes remaining. Both sides made multiple substitutions as they searched for the winning goal, with Aluminium Arak's early booking to Yasin Jorjani setting a physical tone. This draw keeps Aluminium Arak's survival hopes alive while Paykan will rue their inability to hold onto three points that could have boosted their mid-table aspirations.
