Padideh tear Naft Tehran apart
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 5‑1 against Naft Tehran, and it could have been more.

Pejman Jahanbakhsh, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 10.00
A mark of 10.00 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Padideh turn down Esteghlal Ahvaz for Mohammad Torabi
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

A day Pejman Jahanbakhsh will not forget
3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Door shut on Saeid Saharkhizan
Padideh asked and Esteghlal said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Facundo Insfrán turns down Padideh
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Al Wahda keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Tempers go at Padideh
Pejman Jahanbakhsh 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.

Pejman Jahanbakhsh among the goals in a wild afternoon
6 goals in one match, Pejman Jahanbakhsh on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Padideh and Naft Tehran.

Nobody could get near Ashkan Jahanbakhsh
Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
