The offial site mentions that Kaebi played a part in Iran's 2-2 draw with China, but confirms that he only played 45 miutes. What they don't say is that CHina went 2 goals up during the first half, and Iran scored both their goals in the second.
From the Asian Cup site, at half time.....
"Iran assistant coach Nasser Ebrahimi, who took charge with Amir Ghalenoei suspended, made two changes at the break, bringing on Eman Mobali and Javad Kazemian, for the disappointing Ali Karimi and Hossein Kaebi."
Incidentally, Karimi and Kaebi are probably Iran's most creative and flareful players - they're obviously prone to inconsistancy in their game. Also, it's been a long season in Germany and Iran (?) - they could both be suffering from a little fatigue.
