IR Iran overcame China PR and their vociferous fans to grab the last place at the first FIFA Futsal Women\u2019s World Cup\u2122. Nasimeh Gholami and Maral Torkaman registered two assists and goals respectively as Forouzan Soleimani\u2019s side emerged 3-1 winners in the third-place play-off at the AFC Women\u2019s Futsal Asian Cup. Iran will now join hosts Philippines, Japan and Thailand in representing Asia at the global finals, which kicks off on 21 November.<\/p>\n
The noise was ear-splitting in Hohhot, but it was Iran who struck first, Torkaman volleying in a Gholami pass from close range.<\/p>\n
China\u2019s equaliser was a beauty. Zou Yinglan slipped inside her marker and fizzed a sublime pass between two opponents for Su Jiahong, who executed a breathtaking 360\u00b0 turn and crossed for Cao Jiayi to dink it home. Nastaran Moghimi restored Iran\u2019s advantage, turning in Gholami\u2019s corner, before Zou\u2019s strike came back off the post.<\/p>\n
China threw everything they had into pulling level again, but Iran defended resolutely. When Hu Jie\u2019s team lost possession while utilising the flying goalkeeper late on, Torkaman stroke the ball into the empty net to seal the deal.<\/p>\n
Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Italy, Morocco, New Zealand, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Spain and Tanzania will also compete at the FIFA Futsal Women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
