Masoud Karimi was the difference for Gostaresh Foulad
Marked 7.80. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Gostaresh Foulad and Foolad take a point apiece
It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
