Haidar Soleimani, in an interview with Tasnim News Agency sports reporter, said about Seyed Reza Mahdavi’s judgment in the Esteghlal-Peykan match: . Silva’s dismissal was the most controversial scene in the match in which Mahdavi made the right and courageous decision.
He clarified that in such scenes, we should not pay too much attention to mistakes: the direction of the player was Peykan towards the goal and the defenders did not reach him. The striker was dribbling the Esteghlal defender to see if the referee could reach the ball. We did not have such scenes in the Iranian Premier League, and for this reason, the players and coaches protested. Overall, the referee had good running, management and judgment.
Esteghlal and Peykan teams tonight (Tuesday) in the last match of the 24th week of the Premier League, which ended in a 0-0 draw.
