Persepolis secured top spot in Group E of the 2021 AFC Champions League yesterday as Yahya Golmohammadi’s side bounced back from their loss against Al Wahda to hand Qatar’s Al Rayyan a 4-2 defeat that ensured their passage to the Round of 16.
The two-time finalists had slipped to a 1-0 loss to the club from the United Arab Emirates on Matchday Five, but they eventually claimed all three points against Laurent Blanc’s alreadyeliminated side after a nervy second half at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa.
