Ali Asghar then finished from close range in the 19th minute to put the score at 2-0 for Iran.

Two minutes to the end, Behrooz fired in the third goal for Iran before Vietnam pulled a goal back thanks to Duc Hoa in the very last minute of play.

In the other match of the day, Morocco beat New Zealand 6-2 to be crowned the champions.

Held by the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City Football
Federation, the tournament was a preparation for the Vietnamese team to play at the AFC Futsal Asian Cup 2024, slated for April 17-28 in Thailand. Vietnam is in the same group with host Thailand, China and Myanmar./.
