Iran's Team Melli advance to knockout stage at FIFA U17 World Cup
Overcoming New Caledonia football team 5-0, Iran's U 17 team managed to ascend the next stage in order to join the 8 top teams of the world.

SAEDNEWS: In the next four days, the Iranian junior football players will face Morocco's team in Surabaya, Indonesia, and try to reach the top eight teams of the U-17 World Cup underway in the country.

The Iranian football players first defeated their Brazilian rivals 3-2, but when faced the UK players, they were overcome in a close competition due to a goal the British team scored in minute 90.

But, tonight, the Iranian players scored 5 goals in their match against the New Caledonia team and managed to ascend to the next stage with 6 points.

Amir-Mohammad Razeghinia scored 2 goals, Reza Ghandipour 2 goals, and Kasra Taheri 1 goal for Iran.

Like England and Brazil, the Iranian players achieved 6 points, but due to the lower goal difference compared to the two teams, Iran's team was placed in third place in Group C, until they faced Morocco, the leader of Group A - iranpress.
