9 saves: Milad Nekounam was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.
Match1 Aug 2026
Siah Jamegan taken apart
0‑3 to Persepolis, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.
Player ratings3 Aug 2026
Ashkan Mohammadi was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 24. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

A falling-out at Siah Jamegan
Ashkan Mohammadi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Siah Jamegan

Siah Jamegan rebuffed over Dylan Moody

Saeid Beiranvand steps up from the Siah Jamegan academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Saeid Beiranvand has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
