ACL2020 - Group C: Persepolis edge Al Taawoun to stay on track

Doha: Islamic Republic of Iran’s Persepolis FC repeated their 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia’s Al Taawoun FC on Matchday Four of the 2020 AFC Champions League Group C on Friday.

Sharjah’s 4-2 win over Al Duhail earlier on Friday opened the group up, meaning that regardless of the result, both Al Taawoun and Persepolis would remain in contention going into Matchday Five, but a win for either side at Education City Stadium would send them top of Group C.
