Player ratings

Ali Beiranvand, 20, steals the show — 7.83

Marked 7.83 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Match

Gostaresh Foulad make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Gostaresh Foulad have 4 straight wins of it.

Squad

Mohammad Amini is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Remember the name: Ali Beiranvand

He is 20, he is averaging 7.01, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Squad

Tempers go at Gostaresh Foulad

Abolfazl Zoleykhaei 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Abolfazl Zoleykhaei

He is 20 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Ali Beiranvand the difference as Gostaresh Foulad beat Padideh

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Ali Beiranvand. 2‑0 against Padideh, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Squad

Amir Hossein Neshatjoo 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.

Player ratings

One of those days for Ehsan Beiranvand

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.03, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Kaveh Yazdani 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 Gostaresh Foulad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Gostaresh Foulad training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Omid Nekounam 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.

Match

Gostaresh Foulad see off Malavan

Three points for Gostaresh Foulad, 2‑0 the final word against Malavan in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Ehsan Beiranvand

A mark of 7.99, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout

A satisfied Karim Dejagah

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑0, Karim Dejagah could afford to be generous.

The dugout

Ali Beiranvand has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Gostaresh Foulad will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad

Ali Beiranvand, 20, is the weekend’s best young player

Measured against every other kid in the division and first among them. The senior award is where Gostaresh Foulad would like this to lead.

The dugout

Mohammad Cheshmi 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 Gostaresh Foulad, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market

Mehdi Beiranvand linked with a move away

The name of Mehdi Beiranvand keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Gostaresh Foulad say nothing, which says plenty.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Ehsan Vafaei

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Persepolis join the queue for Ramin Vafaei

Add another name to the list: Persepolis have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Ramin Vafaei. The answer from Gostaresh Foulad has not changed — yet.

Market

Gostaresh Foulad turn down Siah Jamegan for Ehsan Hajsafi

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

Boardroom

Gostaresh Foulad go back to the board over Hossein Kazeminia

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $22.2K — a club that wants Hossein Kazeminia enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

The paperwork begins on Ali Hassani

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Gostaresh Foulad have done the hard part with Foolad, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets

Gostaresh Foulad baulk at the price for Hossein Kazeminia

Foolad wanted more than $21.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad

Words at Gostaresh Foulad training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Omid Nekounam 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Gostaresh Foulad

Mohammad Amini and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Alireza Ebrahimi for 14 days

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