Iran Press/ Iran news: In the presence of 60,000 spectators, Persepolis were the better team in the early minutes of the match and put their archrivals under pressure.
In the 30th minute of the game, Mehdi Torabi, a Persepolis midfielder, smashed a right-footed finish into the goal from the edge of the box.
The heated game continued until the last second of the second half of the game when Esteghlal defender Mohammad Hossein Moradmand headed home a last-gasp leveler and two teams went into the extra time.
But Persepolis captain Omid Alishah scored the winning goal in the 115th minute with a set-piece.
Esteghlal and Persepolis have met each other 101 times in the Tehran derby. Persepolis have won 27 matches, while Esteghlal emerged victorious 26 times, and 48 matches ended in a draw.
Both teams have clinched Hazfi Cup seven times each.
Persepolis automatically won Super Cup as league and Hazfi Cup champions, as the Reds have recently claimed the Iran league.
