KICK OFF!
We are underway in Shillong. India vs Iran begins
We are past the 15-minute mark now and both teams are goalless but Iran have clearly been the more threatening side so far in this clash. Iran came really close to scoring right in the third minute but manage to miss the chance. India really need to up their game.
We are past the half-hour mark now and while Iran have been really dominant with possession and attacks, the score is still 0-0. India are under pressure but they have managed to keep Iranian women at bay so far.
Here comes the half-time whistle and it remains goalless so far in this clash. Iran really dominant but have not been able to breach the Indian defence.
Second half begins!
India will aim to be better here after Iran have been completely dominant.
63' Finally Iran converts a chance and they get a lead in this game after more than an hour. Iran deserve this lead and India have their task cut out from here on if they want to share points.
74' There comes another goal for Iran and the Indian defence which had held up well so far has now collapsed in front of this immense pressure.
Five minutes of added time are done and we have India 0, Iran 2. A solid win for the Iranian women tonight in Shillong.
A fighting display from the Indian women but it was not enough in front of a far better Iran. Sara Didar found the net twice in the 64th minute and then 10 minutes later and Iran won 2-0.
