Great

8 yellows

Bashir give away 8 yellow cards but if you look at all of them, you can see that he got them al correct and there were no complaints from either team.

Mini FIGHT

When there is a fight in a soccer match, everyone looks at the referee to see who is getting a card. Even though Bashir could have given 6 yellows at that time, he only gave 1 yellow to the goalkeeper from Emirates. He handled it so well that everyone was surprised.

Red card?

Even though I like the whole performance from Bashir, he still missed a red card in the second half when the Emirates player went studs up on Zob Ahan's goalkeeper.

Another good referee from Asia.

How good are the referees in Asia. I know we all like Nishimura and especially Irmatov but guys like Bashir and Faghani are impressive as well, even though Bashir will be retiring in couple of years.
