PLDC - The Managing Director of Perspolis club told reporters that he is delighted to see 50,000 Perspolis fans in Azadi for the home game verses Sepahan.

He added: Despite being without some key players against Sepahan, the players played with heart and for the love of the fans.
By beating Sepahan, players thanked the fans for supporting the team for the entire match, and even kept on chanting for their team after Sepahan tied the game and it looked as if the game might end in a tie.
