Taipei: Reigning champions Islamic Republic of Iran advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2018 AFC Futsal Championship after defeating China PR 11-1 in a Group C tie on Sunday.
China held firm for the first three minutes but a defensive error proved costly as Iran took the lead courtesy of Hossein Tayyebi’s strike.
Iran continued to control the match before firing two more goals seven minutes later through Farhad Tavakoli and Mahdi Javid.
Javid added his second four minutes later before Mohammad Shajari and Tayyebi’s strike made it 6-0.
China, however, did not give up as Xu Yang pulled one back when he found an opening following an assist by Shen Siming for a 6-1 score at halftime.
