ANOTHER GAME, ANOTHER DRAW

January  24-2014

 You’d think Tehran soccer fans would get bored as the capital’s two dominating teams played Friday to yet again another tie.  It was Persepolis 0, Esteghlal 0.  It is the fourth time in a row that the two teams have played to a scoreless draw.  Some 100,000 fans packed the stands to see a gripping match.  And they got a 0-0 draw.  It’s been this way for years.  The teams have played 78 times over the decades with Esteghlal (the Blues) winning 24 games, Persepolis (the Reds) winning 18 times and the other 36 matches all ending in ties.
