INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
TEHRAN Irans Persepolis and Saudi Arabias Al Nassr football teams played out a goalless draw here at the Azadi Stadium in the 2024/245 AFC
Champions League Elite Matchday 8 on Monday.The draw took Persepolis approximately 8th spot in the West Zone standings but Qatars Al Gharafa
and fellow Iranian side Esteghlal will overtake them with success in their final matches.The home side would have been enhanced by the sight
of Sadio Mane and Aymeric Laporte on Al Nassrs bench with Cristiano Ronaldo and Jhon Duran not part of the matchday squad, as they looked to
get an early opener.Persepolis, on their part, failed to problem Al Nassr and now deal with an anxious wait.
