Ashkan Noorafkan keeps Saba in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 11 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Mohammad Noorafkan breaks a bone — 81 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 81 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Milad Hosseini runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 27. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

No sign of nerves from Amir Hosseini at 21 — 7.82

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Amir Hosseini did not need any: 7.82, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Hossein Dejagah asks to leave Saba

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Mohammad Reza Rezaei in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Saba this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Mohammad Noorafkan breaks a bone — 97 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 97 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Kaveh Ghoddos scores twice — 8.74

Two goals and a mark of 8.74 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A muscle injury sidelines Ashkan Beiranvand for 15 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Saba will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Market17 Aug 2026

Saipa come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Saba did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Milad Hosseini in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Saba this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match15 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Saba and Tractor in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Match15 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Saba against Tractor

2‑4 to Tractor, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Shahriar Dejagah

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Mohammad Reza Rezaei

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Nobody could get near Hossein Dejagah

Successful dribbles: 39. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Kaveh Taremi could not have asked for more on his first appearance — 7.34

Debuts are survived rather than enjoyed. This one was enjoyed: 7.34, 0 goals, and a manager already being asked whether he starts again next week.

No sign of nerves from Milad Hosseini at 21 — 7.87

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Milad Hosseini did not need any: 7.87, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market10 Aug 2026

Eyes on Pejman Taremi again

The phone has started ringing about Pejman Taremi again, and this time the name on the line is Gostaresh Foulad. Saba are listening politely and promising nothing.

Match8 Aug 2026

Saba see off Saipa

Three points for Saba, 1‑0 the final word against Saipa in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Masoud Khodadad was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.35. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Saba count the cost of losing Ehsan Taremi

36 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Ashkan Beiranvand knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Saba, and both men came out saying it was fine.
