Tehran Times – PAHANG, Iran made it two wins out of two following their 10-0 defeat of United Arab Emirates in their AFC Futsal Asian Cup Indonesia 2026 Qualifiers Group C match on Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Iran, who sailed 12-0 past Bangladesh in the opener, only needed 30 seconds to find the back of the net through Behrooz Azimi, who gained possession from a poor back pass before slipping the ball home.<\/p>\n

UAE tried to assert themselves but lost their momentum after Iran capitalized on a counter-attacking move in the seventh minute which saw Mahdi Karimi curling his effort into the top left corner from above the box.<\/p>\n

Despite the Emiratis best efforts to contain the men in red with Hamad Hassan Alblooshi forcing Iran keeper Mahdi Rostami into a save a minute later, Amirhossein Dehghani made it 3-0 seconds later after converting Azimi\u2019s corner.<\/p>\n

Iran maintained control through their high-press and increased their tally in the 12th minute through Masoud Yousef before Hossein Tayebi etched his name on the scoresheet a minute later following another counter-attacking move.<\/p>\n

Yousef then netted from a 10-metre penalty in the 18th minute before Hossein Sabzi gained possession from the right flank to set up Ali Khalilvand for a simple tap-in.<\/p>\n

Iran were relentless after the break with goals from Azimi (23rd), Rostami (28th) and Yousef (29th) sealing the emphatic win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
