Split results for the Iranian clubs in Asia
It was mixed day for us in Asia. Last year’s runner-ups Sepahan bowed out after a 2-1 defeat in Syria, but the unfashionable Saipa managed to go through after defeating Kuwait Sports Club in Karaj, Iran.
Too bad for Sepahan. They have been Iran’s most successful club during the last half dozen years or so; however, they were unlucky to lose form, not to mention their almost entire coaching staff, half way through the season just when the AFC Champions League group stage began. Not all is lost, however. They are still in the hunt for the Iranian League and Cup titles.
As for Saipa, they will most likely bow out in the first round of the knockout stage. This is their first appearance in Asia, and they have very little experience outside of Iran.
