Tehran Times - A suffocating defense carried Iran to a second consecutive victory at Seychelles 2025, leaving winless Paraguay on the brink.
Iran put the shackles on Paraguay’s high-flying attack to register a 5-1 victory in this FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup.
Iran got off to a fast start with Movahed Mohammadpour and Mehdi Mirjalili each smashing in shots from distance.
Paraguay’s attempts to cut the deficit were thwarted until midway through the second, when Milciades Medina took flight and scored a sensational bicycle kick.
Ali Nazem restored Iran’s two-goal cushion, followed by insurance strikes from Mahdi Shirmohammadi and Mohammad Masoumi to seal things for Team Melli.
