Pitso Mosimane and Esteghlal missed a chance to move up the table as they played to a goalless draw against Malavan on Saturday afternoon.
A victory for Mosimane’s team could’ve moved them into the top half of the league, but instead Esteghlal are in tenth position after 17 games.
It has been a disappointing run for Mosimane and the Iranian club, who have now not won a match in their last six fixtures.
