According to "Varzesh3", Sepahan in a match that turned in their favour from the opening minutes, with goals from Mehdi Limouchi, Omid Noorafkan and a brace from Kasra Taheri, achieved a high-scoring victory. The result of this match also gave three golden-shirt players a better position in the table of top scorers, assist providers and the league's best goalkeepers.
Kasra Taheri, with the two goals he scored against Mes Shahr-e Babak, took his goal tally for the current season to four. The young Sepahan striker is now only one goal behind Amirhossein Hosseinzadeh, the leader of the scoring table, and alongside several other four-goal strikers is considered one of the closest pursuers of the current top scorer of the competition.
The interesting point about Taheri is that all four of his goals have been scored in two home matches. This striker first scored a brace against Gol Gohar and repeated the same thing against Mes Shahr-e Babak. Two successful performances at Naghsh-e Jahan have turned Taheri into Sepahan's current best scorer and one of the serious contenders in the scoring table.
Omid Noorafkan also had three assists on his record before this match, and his precise delivery on Kasra Taheri's second goal recorded his fourth assist of the season. Counting this assist, Noorafkan has reached the top of the assist table alongside Esmaeil Babaei and Ahmadreza Zendehrouh. He also scored a beautiful goal against Mes to take his total direct contribution to five goals.
In goal, too, Seyed Hossein Hosseini recorded his sixth clean sheet of the season. Before this match he had kept Sepahan's goal closed five times, and by coming through the Mes match without conceding a goal, he reached the record of six clean sheets. Hosseini is now level with Alireza Beiranvand and is one clean sheet behind Habib Farabbasi.
The simultaneous presence of Sepahan players in the race for three individual tables presents a picture of the distribution of responsibility in this team. The team's young striker scores, Navidkia's versatile player creates chances, and the experienced goalkeeper preserves the points. This combination could be one of the golden-shirts' important strengths in the rest of the season.
A large part of the league still remains, and the gaps are so small that one match can change the order of these tables. Nevertheless, the placing of three Sepahan players near the top of the individual statistics shows that Navidkia's team's recent upward trend has not been formed on the basis of the performance of a few limited players, and different parts of the team have improved at the same time.
