At the beginning of the second half,  Esteghlal&#8217;s striker Arash Borhani scored a goal which was rejected by the  referee for offside. <\/p>\n<p>Later in the second half, Sepahan&#8217;s Brazilian midfielder Fabio  Januario scored the opener after 64 minutes at Isfahan&#8217;s Fouladshahr  Stadium on Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p>The visitors then poured forward for an equalizer and managed to level the match via Borhani six minutes from time.  <\/p>\n<p>Speaking to reporters after the match, Mazloumi said he was not  happy at all with the final result as his men could have scored more  goals if they hadn&#8217;t wasted their chances. <\/p>\n<p>He added that the Blues had full dominance of the match although a number of the club&#8217;s leading players were absent. <\/p>\n<p>Esteghlal&#8217;s manager also noted that it takes time for his men to reach ideal conditions. <\/p>\n<p>The 11th edition of the IPL started on Tuesday with six of the eight matches of the opening day ending in a draw. <\/p>\n<p>Persepolis and Malavan played out to a 1-1 draw in Tehran&#8217;s Azadi Stadium. <\/p>\n<p>In other matches of the day Damash and Naft Abadan, Sepasi and Naft  Tehran, and Foulad and Shahin were all held to a goalless draw. <\/p>\n<p>The match between Mes and Shahrdari ended in a 1-1 tie, while Rah Ahan and Zob Ahan drew 2-2. <\/p>\n<p>Saipa and Saba were the only victors of the opening day.
