The AIranian side — playing at home at the Azadi Sta- dium in Tehran — dominated proceedings, cre- ated multiple chances and were even awarded a penalty but they still couldn’t score. The fi rst leg of this tie ended goalless and it will be Le- khwiya who will be happy this result. They have goalkeeper Qasem Burhan to thank, for keeping them in the tie with timely saves including de- nying that crucial penalty. Just six minutes into the match and Perse- polis had their fi rst chance. Mehdi Taremi had a free header inside the box after getting a cross from Hossein Mahini down the left fl ank but the striker missed the target. It was an ominous sign for Lekhwiya. Taremi is this season’s top scorer in this competition having scored six of Perse- polis FC’s last seven goals. In the 14th minute Lekhwiya could have sprung a surprise but Luiz Junior’s shot ended up hitting the post and going wide. Yousef Msa- kni had another shot on target for Lekhwiya in the 25th minute but it was saved by Persepolis keeper Alireza Beiranvand. The visitors had an- other chance in the 38th minute but Nam Tae- Hee shot over the bar. Persepolis had a couple of chances themselves but they couldn’t score either. Both teams went into the break goalless but with the amount of possession that Persepolis had, a goal looked in- evitable. The second half began in a similar fashion as the fi rst. Two minutes into the restart and Persepolis missed another chance. This time it was Mohsen Mosalman who was the culprit, shooting wide. The Persepolis midfi elder had an even better chance two minutes later. Taremi provided him with a good pass inside the box but Mosalman’s shot was just wide. Lekhwiya, reduced to attacking on the coun- ter, got a chance through Karim Boudiaf in the 57th minute but his shot was saved by Beiran- vand. Three minutes later, Tae-Hee’s curler was Lekhwiya’s Ahmed Yasser (left) vies for the ball with Persepolis’ Mehdi Taremi during the Asian Champions League match at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran yesterday.

  • Springboks and All Blacks Seek Psychological Blow
    Sports FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2013 Genia’s yo-yo Photo of the day season takes an upward turn ROSARIO: Australia scrum-half Will Genia’s yo-yo season took an upward turn when he was recalled for tomorrow’s Rugby Championship Test in Argentina. Genia comes in for Nic White in the only change to the starting line-up from that beaten 28- 8 by South Africa in Cape Town last weekend. White drops to the bench for the wooden-spoon showdown at Estadio Gigante de Arroyito in Rosario, 300 kilometers north west of Buenos Aires. There is also one change among the replacements with utility back Bernard Foley coming in for Chris Feauai-Sautia, scorer of the Wallaby try against the Springboks. Papua New Guinea-born Genia, 25, has skippered Australia this year in the absence of injured lock James Horwill. But he was axed by coach Ewen McKenzie after leading the Wallabies in a humili- ating 26-point drubbing by South Africa in Brisbane. White impressed sufficiently to stay on the pitch for the full 80 minutes as Australia squeezed a 14-13 home win over the Pumas in a dour duel. But his field-kicking came unstuck in Cape Town and the Wallabies fared far better when Genia came on for the second half. McKenzie, a Super Rugby title- winning coach with the Queensland Reds, replaced New Zealander Robbie Deans after a 2-1 series loss to the British and Irish Lions. But the former Wallaby prop has experienced a baptism of fire with home and away reverses against the New Zealand All Blacks and the Springboks.
