Omar Abdulrahman scored from the tightest of angles in the 49th minute, while Lee Myung-joo added the fourth seven minutes later before a long range attempt from Abdulrahman made it into the bottom corner on the hour mark.
Nassir Al Shamrani slammed home the sixth in the 76th minute.
Kevah Rezaei claimed a consolation for Esteghlal seven minutes from time when his free-kick sneaked in at Khalid Eisa’s near post.
