The team led by Amir Ghalenoei, who have accumulated three titles in this competition, capitalized on the goal scored by Mahdi Ghaedi after Milad Mohammadi’s pass before time.
Iran maintained its advantage until the end against an opponent who suffered a second defeat after defeat against the United Arab Emirates which on Thursday did not go beyond a draw against Palestine.
The Iranian team, after completing the second day, accumulates six points, two more than the United Arab Emirates but five more than Palestine. Hong Kong has no score yet.
On the final date, Iran will face the United Arab Emirates and Palestine will face Hong Kong.
