Leading 1-0 from last week's first leg in Tehran, Sepahan delighted the home fans in Esfahan by doubling their advantage through Mahmoud Karimi a minute before the interval.

Ebrahim Loveinian killed off any lingering hopes for Saba Battery with Sepahan's second of the game 10 minutes into the second half, before Hossein Papi sealed a 4-0 aggregate win two minutes from time.

It was Sepahan's third victory in four years in the competition which they won after a penalty shootout against Persepolis in 2006.

The Esfahan side advanced to the knockout stage of the this year's AFC Champions League after a 1-0 win over Al Shabab of Saudi Arabia last month and have been drawn to play Kawasaki Frontale of Japan in the last eight in September.
