Iran’s performance does not appear to be influenced by off-field factors: after Gulishadi and Esmond “hit the wall” within 15 minutes, they broke through the opposition defense and scored into an empty net, but the ball certificate later showed that Gulishadi was offside first. Ronahi tried a long-range shot in first half stoppage time, but unfortunately failed to open Iran’s record as the teams drew 0:0 at half-time. After switching ends, Esmond made a wedge to counter. After kicking the center post, it was Gurishadi’s turn to shoot from the penalty area. Back at the center post, Esmond tried to make a follow-up shot but it was was saved by the goalkeeper.

Wells didn’t perform as well as last game against USA including main force Galif Barr. In the 86th minute, as goalkeeper Hennessy brought down Iranian striker Dalimei, the ball certificate first received a yellow card and then a red card was awarded after checking “VAR” Cup first red card. Iran, which has the numerical advantage, finally scored in 8 minutes of injury time. Chasmey, who came on as a reserve, scored a direct shot by Emeiyue at the far post. After 3 minutes, Lshane from the right made it 2:0. In addition to their first win, they also became the third Asian team to win this year.
