Goalless in the first half, the already-qualified Tractor put the squeeze on Qatar’s Al Gharafa in the second half to snuff out their qualification hopes with Hosseinzadeh’s 81st minute goal settling the contest after Mahdi Hashemnezhad had opened the scoring 20 minutes earlier.
According to AFC website, Tractor’s third-placed finish in the West Zone standings means a clash with United Arab Emirates’ Shabab Al Ahli in the Round of 16
