<\/span>PTV – TEHRAN, Tehran’s popular soccer squad Esteghlal has scored a great 3-0<\/strong> <\/strong><\/span>victory over Peykan in the fifth week of the Iranian Premier League (IPL).<\/strong> <\/span>
<\/span>
The Blues, who sought the first win at home, lost many opportunities to end the first half with a goalless draw at Tehran’s Azadi Stadium on Wednesday night. <\/span>
<\/span>
However, the home side took the lead in the second half when defender Pejman Montazeri took advantage of Peykan goalkeeper Ebrahim Mirzapour’s blunder and opened the scoring in the 60th minute. <\/span>
<\/span>
The 25-year-old striker Milad Meydavoudi struck a wonderful free-kick just four minutes later to keep the Blues in the race for the IPL title. <\/span>
<\/span>
Esteghlal skipper Farhad Majidi sealed the victory twelve minutes from time to send cheers to thousands of his team’s fans at the sporting venue. <\/span>
<\/span>
Esteghlal manager Parviz Mazloumi voiced satisfaction with the decisive victory and said the team was nearing an “ideal situation” day by day. <\/span>
<\/span>
However, Peykan’s boss, Mohammad Ahmadzadeh, said his team did not deserve “such a heavy defeat at all.” <\/span>
<\/span>
“Esteghlal is a big team but it achieved the victory only due to Peykan players’ mistakes,” he went on to say. <\/span>
<\/span>
The win moves Esteghlal to the sixth place in the IPL table with 8 points. Zob Ahan, under Mansour Ebrahimzadeh, tops the standings on 13 points after five games, followed by Pas with 10 points. Steel Azin, coached by Serbian Ljubisa Tumbakovic, sits third on 9 points. <\/span>
