MNA – Security Council of Tehran Governor
General’s Office praised the fans watching the second-leg final match of the
League Cup between Esteqlal and Sepahan in the 100,000-seater Azadi stadium,
west of Tehran, on July 7.
Police were on alert Wednesday as the first leg in Naqsh-e Jahan stadium in
Isfahan turned sour and the home team Sepahan won 3-2 amid bust-up and
scuffle on and off the pitch.
Although some 90,000 fans watched the game,
police faced no trouble and the match ended in a peaceful atmosphere.
The council also extended its appreciation to the organizing committee,
police, and all football officials for their all-out cooperation in
establishing security.
