Iranian papers today widely covered the AFC Champions League semi-final match between Irans Persepolis FC and Qatars Al-Sadd in Tehran, which ended with a 1-1 draw, but led to the Iranian sides victory on aggregate. Persepolis made history by booking a place in the final match, which is to be held against Japanese or Korean teams on November 3 and 10.
Also a top story was Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogans comments about Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggis case, which disappointed those who expected to know the naked truth about the murder. Analysts believe the CIA chiefs visit to Turkey has led to a collusion between Riyadh, Ankara, and Washington, and that has kept Erdogan from revealing the truth.
