Iran’s Persepolis Looks to Secure First Win in ACL
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Persepolis and Al Wahda of the UAE are looking to secure their first win of the 2017 AFC Champions League.
Al Wahda will host Persepolis in Group D at Al Nahyan Stadium on Tuesday.
Persepolis was just eight minutes away from victory in its opening match after Mohsen Mosalman opened the scoring against Al Hilal but Brazilian Carlos Eduardo scored for the Saudi Arabian team.
Rim Chang-woo’s first-half strike saw Al Wahda go into the interval all square with Al Rayyan on Matchday One only to finish the game on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline. The Emiratis’ last home game in the competition, though, was a 2-0 victory over Tuesday’s visitors back in 2011.
Also, Zob Ahan of Iran and Saudi Arabia’s Al Ahli will square off in Group C of the 2017 AFC Champions League on Tuesday with both aiming to build on impressive opening-day performances, the afc.com wrote.
