On the bench against Braga.
Also regarding the previous match, he was going to be on the bench but unfortunately got injured hence you did not see his name in the team squad.
He is 2nd in the pecking order behind Samuel (until he gets sold) and will start cup games/come on if Samuel gets injured.Comment

They won a cup game today 3-0 against Alireza Haghighi's old team Penafiel. Anyone know if he played today?

He is their 2nd keeper. The reason Japanese guy played was Payam just joined the club from TM duties.

Oh... So that's where Portimonense's top scorer from last season went, to Serie A:

Udinese sign Beto from Portimonense for 10M€ for 50% of his rights
It's Decemeber and I just found out now, haha. Today Beto scored a brace against Lazio and is doing quite well for Udinese.Comment

Ex-Hearts manager Paulo Sergio reveals how Donald Trump made his job a nightmare
Former Hearts manager Paulo Sergio has revealed how Donald Trump made his job in Iran one of the hardest of his football career.
The Portuguese coach finished ninth in the Persian Gulf Pro League with Sanat Naft Abadan this season. However, Trump’s ongoing political battle with Iran badly affected the country’s economy.
Iran has suffered under sanctions introduced by Donald Trump's government
The falling value of the American dollar made it almost impossible for Sergio to recruit players. That came as a result of the United States president trying to cut Iran’s oil exports - their main source of income.
Several of Sanat Naft’s existing squad are also looking for transfers to other countries. Sergio, 51, is now considering his future after receiving offers from clubs in Iran and abroad.
“I finished my season a week ago in Iran and am looking at some options,” he explained. “I have the chance of things coming up in Iran, with my current club and also with some others.

“I will look at it over the next few days and make a decision.
“The job I have been doing was one of the hardest jobs I have had until now because, when I arrived, the situation was different to now. After I went there, Mr Trump put his sanctions on and that made the dollar value go down.
“That has made it hard for the football clubs, especially bringing in foreign players. Some players wanted to leave the club because of the problems, so it was difficult.”
Sergio spent a year at Tynecastle Park in season 2011/12, culminating in Hearts’ famous Scottish Cup final win against Edinburgh rivals Hibs.
He then worked in Romania, Cyprus, Portugal and the United Arab Emirates before joining Sanat Naft last year. The club are based in the south-west Iranian city of Abadan, near the banks of the Persian Gulf.
Sergio noted a wealth of footballing talent in the region. He extolled the talents of the players he worked with and believes Iran could become a future force at international level with better infrastructure.
“We brought through a lot of young players this season and won five of the last six matches. Iran is a huge country and there is a lot of talent there,” said Sergio. “The players there have the right mentality. I have found them to be strong, very good technically and they are not expensive.
“I think, if they are organised and if they get the infrastructure there correct, then in the future Iran could become a big player in world football.”
• Paulo Sergio was speaking at a William Hill media event. William Hill is the proud sponsor of the Scottish Cup.

Payam knew what he was getting into when he moved to a squad with a established starter. I guess he is hoping this is a long term move.Originally posted by Iran_19 View Post
A loan to a smaller team would do him wonder right now

But that doesn't justify not even making the squad.Originally posted by The View Post
