Iran Press/Iran news: The match between the Iranian giants Persepolis and Saudi football team Al-Ahli in the Group D of the 2019 AFC Champions League was held at Zabeel Stadium in Dubai, UAE, this evening and ended 2-0 for the Iranian side.
This win helps Persepolis, as the vice-champion of the last edition of the Asian championships, keep its hopes alive to advance from the group stage to the next level, while it is currently standing in the third place in its group with 4 points after Uzbek Pakhtakor and Qatari Al Sadd with 5 and 4 points, respectively according to Mehr News Agency.
