Iran defeated by Saudi Arabia at AFC U-19 tournament in Bahrain
After putting on a superb performance which resulted in qualifying for next year’s FIFA U-20 World Cup, Iranian youngsters have narrowly lost 6-5 to Saudi Arabia in the semi-finals of the AFC U-19 Championship.
In what turned out to be an incredible 11-goal thriller, Saudi Arabia scored three times in the first half while the Persians found the back of the net twice.
The second half was no less exciting as both teams were in attacking mode throughout, demonstrating an unprecedented showdown with both sides scoring three more times each to take the final score to 6-5 for the Saudis. Saudi Arabia will take on Japan who cruised past Vietnman 3-nil in the second semifinal.
