Match

No mercy from Padideh

Saipa will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Padideh were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Masoud Hajsafi at 19 — 7.79

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Masoud Hajsafi did not need any: 7.79, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market

Mohammad Yazdani puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Padideh, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

Padideh cannot stop winning

4 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad

Ramin 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 Padideh this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Padideh keep winning on the road

3 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Market

Omid Mohammadi is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Padideh has been clear about where Omid Mohammadi stands, which is more than many ever get.

Player ratings

One of those days for Saeid Torabi

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.48, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Karim Mohammadi at his very best

Marked 8.27. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Padideh.

Match

Padideh tear Esteghlal Khuzestan apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 6‑0 against Esteghlal Khuzestan, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

Both of them Masoud Hajsafi's — 8.41

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.41, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

3 goals for Saeid Torabi

The match ball belongs to Saeid Torabi, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Player ratings

Majid Beiranvand, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.66

A mark of 7.66 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Saba come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Tempers go at Padideh

Ramin 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.

Match

Saeid Torabi among the goals in a wild afternoon

6 goals in one match, Saeid Torabi on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Padideh and Esteghlal Khuzestan.

Market

Saba join the queue for Mohammad Ghoddos

Add another name to the list: Saba have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Mohammad Ghoddos. The answer from Padideh has not changed — yet.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Saeid Torabi at his very best

Marked 9.38. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Padideh.
