IR Iran defeat United States to seal FIFA Futsal World Cup knockout stage slot

Vilnius: Islamic Republic of Iran came from a goal down to defeat the United States 4-2 in Group F of the FIFA Futsal World Cup Lithuania 2021 at the Vilnius Arena on Friday.

Goalkeeper Alireza Samimi's sending off didn’t dent IR Iran’s resolve as they overturned a one goal deficit to lead 3-1 going into the break before holding off a late United States charge to seal the victory.

With Argentina defeating Serbia 4-2 later on Friday, both teams confirmed their spots in the Round of 16 with IR Iran's clash against the South American powerhouse on Monday to decide the Group F winners.
