CAFA Nations Cup 2025: Iran overpower India with second-half surge- Highlights
8' Iran pile on pressure
Back-to-back corners for Iran as Omid Nor Afkan delivers two teasing balls into the near post, both cleared by the Indian defence. The third corner, again swung in by Nor Afkan, finds Mehran Ahmadi on the edge of the box, but his shot flashes wide of the target—a nervy spell for the Blue Tigers.
Score: India 0–0 Iran
5' Early exchanges
India made the first move through Muhammed Ashique Kuruniyan down the left, showing intent in the opening minutes. But since then, Iran have quickly taken control, pushing higher up the pitch and enjoying more of the possession. The Blue Tigers are looking to absorb the pressure.
