Iran routs Vietnam to reach AFC Futsal Championship final
Iran's national team have bagged another big win at the 2016 AFC Futsal Championship in Uzbekistan. This time, the unstoppable Iranians trounced Vietnam 13-1, to set up a final showdown against the hosts.
Iran reached the semifinals following a commanding 7-nil victory over Kyrgyzstan.
On Friday, Mohammad Nazemosharia's men staged another praise-worthy performance, with some great pin-point passes to dismantle Vietnam, who had eliminated Japan in the previous round.
Farhad Tavakoli led Iran with 4 goals while Mehdi Javid added 3 and Hossein Tayebi and Mohammad Keshavarz each scored twice.
The Iranians have scored a total of 46 goals and conceded only three en route to the final. The top five teams in the tournament qualify for the 2016 FIFA Futsal World Cup in Colombia.
