Iran routs Japan in the finals of AFC beach Soccer Asian Cup 2023

Pattaya: Iran were at their awesome best as they defeated Japan 6-0 in the AFC Beach Soccer Asian Cup™ Thailand 2023 final at the Jomtien Beach Arena on Sunday.
The win saw Iran draw level with Japan on three titles each, with both teams now casting their eyes on preparing for the FIFA Beach Soccer World UAE 2023 in November.
It was a tense start with neither team allowing the other space but it was Iran who had the first look on goal with Amir Akbari sending his overhead kick just above the bar.
Despite Japan’s man-marking, Iran scored the opening goal in spectacular fashion when Movahed Mohammadpour collected a long pass from keeper Seyedmahdi Mirjajili before finishing acrobatically in the fourth minute.
Japan struggled to find their footing and suffered another setback in the eighth minute with Mirjajili the orchestrator again when he set up Ali Mirshekari for another acrobatic finish leaving Shinya Shibamoto well beaten.
Three-time champions Japan came alive in the 11h minute with Takaaki Oba threatening with an overhead effort before Shibamoto’s long-range drive forced a fingertip save from Mirjajili.
Japan were missing the attacking play which had seen them breeze to the final and had no answer to Iran’s aggression when they conceded again in the 20th minute after Mirjajili’s throw was deflected by Movahed to an unmarked Moslem Mesigar to slam the ball home.
The East Asian side almost found a way through with Takuya Akaguma seeing his shot graze the bar before Ozu skied his free-kick in the closing stages, leaving them with a mountain to climb heading into the break.
Iran piled more misery on Japan in the 29th minute when Shibamoto was dispossessed in his own area by Mohammadali Mokhtari before slotting home the fourth into an empty goalmouth.
Iran furthered their advantage in the 35th minute following an own goal by Japan’s Kosuke Matsuda before Mirshekari added the sixth with seconds left on the clock to seal the win and clinch their third title.

PIran advanced to the AFC Beach Soccer Asian Cup™ Thailand 2023 knockout stage after defeating Uzbekistan 11-2 in their second Group B tie on Saturday.
With the United Arab Emirates defeating Malaysia 5-3 in Group B’s later match on Saturday, Iran joined the West Asians in confirming their quarter-final spots with a match to spare.
Iran and UAE will square off on Monday to decide the group winners.
Iran settled quickly with Ali Mirshekari testing Uzbekistan keeper Abdukarim Mukhamedov in the first minute.
Uzbekistan’s hopes of bouncing back from their opening-day defeat against UAE suffered a setback as Mirshekari found the back of the net when he sent a swerving shot past Mukhamedov in the third minute.
Uzbekistan tried to force their way back with Iyos Mallaev testing Iran keeper Seyedmahdi Mirjajili from close range, only for Iran to increase their tempo with Movahed Mohammadpour collecting a wonderful pass from Mohammadali Mokhtari to slot home from close range.
Iran continued to dictate play in the second half and it wasn’t long before the floodgates were opened with Mokhtari deflecting Mahdi Shirmohammadi’s shot into the back of the net from close range in the 14th minute.
Mohammadpour then collected his second goal of the evening when he calmly controlled Shirmohammadi’s pass to net Iran’s fourth in the 16th minute.
Uzbekistan, however, managed to pull one back in the 19th minute when Jamshid Rasulov scored from close range, steering home Mallaev’s corner.
Iran retaliated by scoring twice in the space of three minutes through Reza Amiri Zadeh and Mirshekari to put them 6-1 up at the 23rd minute mark.
Uzbekistan kept trying and scored their second through Mallaev’s spot-kick, but Moslem Mesigar responded for Iran with a looping header as they stayed firmly in control.
Iran furthered their advantage in the third half with Mokhtari scoring their ninth in the 26th minute before goals from Mesigar (33rd) and Shirmohammadi (36th) made it 10-2.
Mokhtari then added the final goal of the evening in the closing seconds to complete a comprehensive victory.
