According to Varzesh3, Esteghlal Tehran futsal team passed the first week of the preliminary stage of the First Division league with a narrow victory against Kok Tabas and presented a hopeful start. This match, which was not short of controversy and strange events occurred during it that led to the dismissal of the Blues' head coach Mohammad Khodadadi, has now entered a new story and may affect the result of the game.
Kok Tabas club, citing last season's disciplinary rulings, has set a case in motion against Esteghlal club and according to it claims that Saeed Tayebi, the Esteghlal player, after the controversial game with Daem Panah Mashhad, which ultimately was accompanied by the Blues' failure in the path to promotion to the Premier League, was sentenced to a two-match ban from accompanying the team. This claim, in view of the rulings issued, matches.
Although Tayebi's disciplinary ban was appealable and usually such rulings, after serving one match of ban, with the flexibility of the disciplinary committee, put the other match into a suspended state. However, in case of a reduction of the ruling, Tayebi will be banned for at least one game and thus his presence in the game with Kok Tabas has been illegal.
The relevant disciplinary ruling is as follows: "Messrs Saeed Tayebi and Mehdi Goudarzi, players of the Esteghlal team, each, because of misconduct towards an official (the opposing team), based on Article 54, were sentenced to a two-match ban from accompanying the team and a cash fine of 200 million rials. The ban of these two players is appealable. (Goudarzi has separated from Esteghlal)
Of course, it is still not clear what result the request for appeal of this ruling has had and whether ultimately Kok Tabas will succeed in changing the result of the game in its favour or not.
