HONG KONG (Reuters) - Head coach Yahya Golmohammadi vowed not to allow Persepolis’ second Asian Champions League final defeat in three campaigns to derail the club from moving forward after the Iranians saw South Korea’s Ulsan Hyundai claim the continental crown on Saturday.
The 2-1 loss in front of a socially-distanced crowd of around 8,000 fans at the Al Janoub Stadium in Doha came two years after a defeat at the hands of Japan’s Kashima Antlers to leave the Iranian side still seeking an elusive first-ever Asian Champions League title.
