AFC Champions League 2017   Esteghlal Khuzestan   Al Fateh  

AFC - Salman Bahrani’s spectacular injury-time overhead kick secured a point for Esteghlal Khouzestan on Tuesday as the Iranian side drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia’s Al Fateh in Group B of the 2017 AFC Champions League.

Bahrani's late equaliser came thanks to an acrobatic strike after substitute Ali Al Zaqan had looked set to seal all three points for the Saudi club with his effort just five minutes from time.

The draw means third-placed Al Fateh remain two points behind the 2016 Iranian champions who are in second, with the Saudi side due to meet Lekhwiya in the final round of matches knowing they will need a win over the Qatari side as Khouzestan take on already eliminated Al Jazira from the UAE.
