WATCH: Pitso Mosimane ends Esteghlal's losing run in AFC Champions League after meeting former FC Barcelona coach

Pitso Mosimane's Esteghlal team settled for a goalless draw against Uzbekistan Super League's Pakhtakor in their AFC Champions League match at Al-Rashid Stadium on Monday.

The team led by the South African coach largely controlled the game, but they were unable to take advantage of the opportunities they had created.

As a result, Esteghlal had to settle for a frustrating draw in their own backyard.

The draw between Esteghlal and Pakhtakor has left the Iranian Pro League giants placed seventh in the AFC Champions League Group B standings

In a positive development, Mosimane secured his first point in Asia's biggest football club tournament following his arrival at the club last month.

He will be hoping to go all way and win the competition having won three Caf Champions League titles.

Esteghlal is set to go head-to-head with the star-studded Al Ahli Saudi who happen to be the former club of Mosimane, on Monday, December 2.

This will be the Capital Blues' sixth match in the AFC Champions League, aiming to climb up the standings.
