Pitso Mosimane‘s unbeaten run of nine games came to an end after his Esteghlal FC suffered a surprise defeat to second from bottom Shams Azar Qazvin.

However, on Monday when the team were expected to pick up their fifth win of the Pro League, they were beaten 1-0 by the struggling visitors.
The defeat was a blow for Mosimane’s side who stayed in 11th place, while Qazvin left the relegation spots and climbed into 14th – now just two points behind Esteghlal.
