Iran U-23 football team ties with Singapore
MNA – VIETNAM, Iran failed to defeat minnow Singapore in the International Under-23 Football Tournament in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on Tuesday.
The Persians were held to a 1-1 draw at the Ha Noi Millennium Stadium.
“I am not satisfied with my players. Our team members did not put up a good performance against Singapore. Furthermore, I think the referee favored the other side in this match and wrongly ruled out our two goals as offside,” Iranian coach Gholamhossein Peyrovani said.
Malaysia and Vietnam are taking part in the tournament as well.
The final match will be played on October 2 at the Thong Nhat Stadium.
