PLDC - In the 8th week of the Iranian
Professional League Esteghlal Tehran defeated Peykan Tehran with the score
of 2-1. Javad Zarincheh, Estehglal Tehran player, was replaced in the
second half of the match by the head coach, Roland Koch.
It appears that Zarincheh chose to sit the game out owing to an injury
received in the first half. If he had not been hurt, the experienced
captain and defender of the club would have been allowed to fulfill his
role for the full ninety minutes of the match.
