League leader Fulad, Persepolis held

Striker Rassul Khatibi took optimal advantage of the visiting Fulad national keeper Ebrahim Mirzapur’s blunder, putting the Isfahan-based Sepahan ahead with a header in the first half and national defender Ali Badavi leveled the match 10 minutes from normal time, heading home a curling cross from midfielder Iman Mob’ali.

Fulad lies in the top spot on 51 points.

In Hafezieh stadium in Shiraz, the home team Fajr-e Sepassi and Persepolis struggled to a scoreless draw.
