Match22 Aug 2026

A 2-goal lead gone for Saba

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Esteghlal Ahvaz kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Saba will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A brace, and Saman Yazdani takes the afternoon — 9.15

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Saman Yazdani provided it, and the 9.15 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Milad Jahanbakhsh scores twice — 9.19

Two goals and a mark of 9.19 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market24 Aug 2026

Ehsan Taremi hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Saba can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Sardar Karimi 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Masoud Khodadad falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match22 Aug 2026

Saba share the spoils with Esteghlal Ahvaz

A 4‑4 draw with Esteghlal Ahvaz leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Vahid Pouraliganji gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Vouria Khodadad 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.

Nobody could get near Sardar Karimi

Successful dribbles: 36. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market17 Aug 2026

Saba turn down Legia for Masoud Khodadad

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A brace, and Milad Jahanbakhsh takes the afternoon — 8.69

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Milad Jahanbakhsh provided it, and the 8.69 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Saba

Masoud Khodadad was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Masoud Khodadad

“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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Pejman Dejagah falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market17 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Saba and Milad Jahanbakhsh

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Match15 Aug 2026

Saba and Tractor take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Saman Cheshmi dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Masoud Khodadad runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 40. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match8 Aug 2026

6 goals as Saba and Saipa go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Saba and Saipa, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at Saba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Masoud Khodadad is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Saba

Reza Pouraliganji was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad10 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Masoud Shojaei

“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.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Milad Jahanbakhsh was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.19. 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.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

One of those days for Saman Yazdani

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.00, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match8 Aug 2026

Saba and Saipa take a point apiece

It finished 3‑3, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market10 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Saba and Sardar Karimi

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Saba, another week without a signature from Sardar Karimi.
