Oman today_ Persepolis finally managed to break the spell of not winning in Asian competitions and secured a dramatic victory against Al-Shorta. Garrido and his team, who were on the brink of elimination from the AFC Champions League, improved their position in the standings with this win against the Iraqi side and became hopeful for advancing from the group stage. However, the final two group-stage matches, scheduled for February, will be decisive for the teams’ qualification. Persepolis will face two star-studded Saudi giants, Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, in these crucial games, and it will be a tough challenge for them to earn points against these teams.
