AFC awards Al-Ittihad 3-0 win after suspended match at Sepahan

RIYADH: The Asian Football Confederation has officially awarded Al-Ittihad a 3-0 win over Sepahan after their AFC Champions League match on Oct. 2 was abandoned when the Saudi club’s players refused to take to the pitch due to the presence of a statue of the late head of Iran’s Quds Force, Qassem Soleimani, inside the stadium. The AFC’s decision came after an investigation concluded that Sepahan had breached the governing body’s fair play regulations by placing pictures and statues of a political nature inside the Naghsh-e-Jahan Stadium in Isfahan.
