Esteghlal FC emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Havadar SC, capitalizing effectively on their opportunities in the first half. Esteghlal showed a sharp attacking edge, evidenced by their two early goals, the first within 17 minutes and the second just before half-time. Their ability to strike early and take control of the game was crucial, as it allowed them to dictate the pace and put Havadar under pressure.

In contrast, Havadar SC struggled to assert themselves offensively, managing only two corner kicks throughout the match. Their lack of attacking threat, compounded by only one goal in the second half, demonstrated their difficulty in breaking down Esteghlal's defenses. Despite a commendable second-half effort, Havadar's single goal at 1:34:17 was not enough to overturn Esteghlal's early lead.

Defensively, Esteghlal FC was disciplined, committing only five fouls compared to Havadar's eleven. This discipline not only helped maintain their structure but also minimized risky situations that could have led to bookings. Havadar's defensive struggles were underscored by their single yellow card amidst a higher foul count, reflecting a more scattered defensive approach that Esteghlal exploited to secure their win.
