The home side, Esteghlal Khozestan, likely took the lead but was pegged back by a determined Shams Azar Qazvin side in the second half. Both teams had opportunities to win the game late on, but neither could find a decisive second goal. A point apiece is a reasonable outcome for both clubs, contributing to their respective totals in what is a long and demanding league season.
