Persianfootball.com – BANGKOK, Not only Iran could celebrate a comfortable 3-0 win over Thailand on Friday, also there were some noteable debuts in Team Melli.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel Davari<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally Bundesliga goalkeeper Daniel Davari earned his first cap for Team Melli. The Eintracht Braunschweig man had received his first call-up in February this year and first joined the Iranian national team for a training camp in March.<\/p>\n

However, he had always found himself on the bench so far and so his debut on Friday, when he replaced Rahman Ahmadi in the starting lineup, came as a slight surprise.<\/p>\n

Although barely tested, Davari left a secure impression and probably will start again versus Lebanon on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Steven Beitashour<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite having his first appearance for Team Melli against Thailand in Tehran last month, there were no less than two debuts for San Jose rightback Steven Beitashour as well.<\/p>\n

The defender had his starting lineup debut filling in for the injured Khosro Heydari, causing the usual backup Hossein Mahini to take a seat on the bench.<\/p>\n

Not only Beitashour showed a strong display, he also grabbed his first assist for Iran when he set up Reza Ghoochannejhad’s 2-0 with a pass from the right side.<\/p>\n

Also Beitashour most likely will start again on Tuesday as Mahini is expected to replace the suspended Ehsan Hajsafi on the left.<\/p>\n

Alireza Jahanbakhsh<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also NEC Nijmegen winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh had earned his first cap last month already, but scored his maiden goal in injury time on Friday.<\/p>\n

Jahanbakhsh, considered one of the brightest prospects in Iranian football, tapped in the ball from close range after being set up by Mohammad-Reza Khalatbari.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
