DUBAI: IR Iran booked their place in the FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup – UAE 2024 knockout phase following a 6-3 victory over Argentina.

Three goals in the first period, including wonder strikes from Hamid Behzadpour and Reza Amiri, seemingly sent the contest in Iran’s favour.

Argentina fought on, though, and twice brought the score to within one, but a fine team goal, which was finished by Ali Mirshekari, ultimately ended their brave fightback and sent the Albiceleste home.
