Both teams lost a few opportunities in the evening game in the sixth week of the IPL. <\/p>\n

Esteghlal manager Parviz Mazloumi blamed the team’s \u201cfatigue\u201d for his players’ below-par performance and told reporters, \u201cUnfortunately, our players’ problems caused major tactical shifts in different matches and we did not have enough time for the changes.\u201d <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the home-side coach Hossein Faraki praised his squad’s efforts and said, \u201cWe would have gathered all the three points if we could use all our players\u201d who suffered from injuries. <\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the IPL games, Mes FC snatched a 1-0 victory against the Khouzestan-based Foulad and Peykan hammered Steel Azin 3-1, while Sepahan defeated Pas 2-1. <\/p>\n

The result keeps Esteghlal in the fourth place in the table with 9 points. Zob Ahan currently tops the standings on 13 points, followed by Persepolis with one point less. Pas sits third in 10. <\/p>\n
