Cruel end for Malavan as Rah Ahan pounce
There is no crueller way to lose a football match. Rah Ahan scored in the 93th minute, the restart barely happened, and the away end was still standing when the whistle went.

Alireza Azmoun asks to leave Rah Ahan
“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.

Nobody could get near Alireza Cheshmi
Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The crowd has taken to Abolfazl Zadehattar
At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Pejman Ebrahimi sends Rah Ahan past Malavan
It finished 1‑0, and it was Pejman Ebrahimi’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Rah Ahan.

Words at Rah Ahan training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vahid Hosseini 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.

The afternoon belonged to Pejman Ebrahimi
A mark of 7.20, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Tempers go at Rah Ahan
Ahmad Mohammadi 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.
Squad24 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Reza Hosseini
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Reza Hosseini, and the manager let it.
