Just four minutes following Shirbeigi’s goal, Iran raised the score to 3-0.
With just few minutes remaining of the first half, despite playing with great efforts, Vietnam couldn’t prevent Iran from scoring one more goal to put the game virtually out of reach at half-time.
After the break, Vietnam pressed to at least find the net but couldn’t manage a goal. Iran made it five before the final whistle.
“Iran are a very strong team in Asia. I was sorry to say that my players were afraid of Iran so the team didn’t perform well in the whole first half,” said Vietnamese coach Truong Quoc Tuan after the match.
“At the break, the training board changed tactics to help Vietnamese girls play better in the second half. It is the first time Vietnam have played in the AFC’s semi-finals so they were worried, especially young players,” Tuan added.
While coach Shahrzad Mozafar said it was the best game of Iran in this year’s event.
“Iran had the good start. We pressed Vietnam successfully. This is Iran’s best match in the AFC Championship,” said Mozafar.
