At 40, Amin Ghasemi-Nejad delivered a decisive move on the day he was set to be substituted, setting up a key win for Qeshm Island over Sepahan...

According to Sports 3 report, Amin Ghaseminejad once again showed that experience in football can make the difference. The experienced striker of Qeshm Island, who wore the captain's armband of his team in the match against Saipa, with a smart move became the basis for his team's single goal so that Mojtaba Jabari's students won three valuable points in this match.

In the 62nd minute of this match, Ghaseminejad made the most of his experience against Saipa's 19-year-old right defender and after receiving the ball, he penetrated the penalty area and sent the ball to the goal, putting Seyed Ali Yahiizadeh in a scoring position. Using this opportunity, Yahyazadeh opened the goal of Orange Poshan so that Qeshm Island won with the same goal.

But the interesting point of the story goes back to minutes before this scene. where Mojtabi Jabari was going to pull Ghaseminejad off the field in the 60th minute, but he delayed his decision and gave this experienced player more time. The opportunity paid off very soon and the captain of Qeshm Island played the main role in recording the winning goal of his team just two minutes later.

Ghaseminejad, who joined Qeshm Island at the beginning of the season as one of the experienced players, has now become one of the influential players of Mojtaba Jabari's team. The former striker of Esteghlal Tehran and Padideh Mashhad, who has accumulated years of experience in Iranian football, also shows in League One that he can still help his team in critical moments.
