Tashkent: Islamic Republic of Iran are in pole position, but three teams remain in contention ahead of the decisive day of the 2019 CAFA U-15 Women’s Championship in Uzbekistan on Monday.
Back-to-back wins mean Shadi Mahini’s side need only a point against Uzbekistan in the sixth and final match of the competition to be champions, but a defeat against the hosts – who are the only side without a chance to claim the title – could open the door for either Kyrgyz Republic or Tajikistan, who play earlier on Monday.
Should the match between Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan end in a draw, Iran – who already have six points - will be crowned champions regardless of their result against Uzbekistan.
