In the semi-final match of the 2022 Asian futsal tournament that ended in the early morning of October 7, with superior class, the Iranian futsal team is predicted to play aggressively and have an easy victory against the representative of Southeast Asia, the Thai team.
Therefore, it is not surprising that just a few seconds after the opening whistle, the defending champion of the tournament scored the opening goal after Tarebi's goal.
Continuing the excitement, the Iranian futsal team continuously organized quick counter-attacks, creating many dangerous situations. However, Thailand's defense has stood firm, especially goalkeeper Katawut Hankhampha has made many excellent saves.
Entering the second half, the game was still entirely in Iran's hands. In the 23rd minute, Aghapour had an impressive dribble before passing the ball to Derakhsani to score to increase the score to 2-0.
After conceding two goals, Thailand continued to have to retreat to play defensively.
However, the Iranian team still proved their superior class when scoring 3 consecutive goals from the 25th to the 30th minute thanks to Derakhsani along with a double from Oladghobad, thereby winning with a score of 5-0.
After defeating Thailand, the Iranian futsal team will face the final obstacle, the Japanese team, in their journey to defend the throne in the 2022 Asian futsal finals.
