According to Mehr reporter, the delayed match of the fifth week between Esteghlal and Persepolis football teams, which was the 102nd derby between these two teams, was held at Azadi Stadium in Tehran at 4:15 p.m. today, Thursday (December 23), under the judgment of Fanadi Far. The two teams ended in a one-to-one draw. Omid Alishah (89) scored for Persepolis and Kevin Yamaga (90+7 – penalty) scored for Esteghlal.
* Mohammadreza Ahmadi, the reporter of this match, was insulted by Esteghlal fans while leaving the stadium. He looked at Esteghlal fans with surprise and did not know the reason why Esteghlal fans insulted him. Of course, the fans of the Blue Capital team believed that he made a one-sided report and wanted Persepolis to win this match.
* After the end of the whistle, Biranvand went to the fans of his team and showed them the system-wide referee’s decision as a sign of protest.
* Esteghlal players along with Javad Nekonam went to the dressing room from the other side because the entrance to the dressing room was in front of the Persepolis spectators.
* Kevin Yamaga, who in the most difficult conditions, scored the equalizer for Esteghlal in the final minutes, was applauded by the fans.
* After the equalizer, many Persepolis fans left the stadium, but Esteghlal fans stayed until the final whistle and encouraged their team.
* Yahya Golmohammadi, who was not at all satisfied with the result, sat on the bench for a few minutes and then went to the dressing room.
* CEO of Persepolis club was in a special position with his mobile phone while watching the mistake that the referee took a penalty for Esteghlal.
