Iran national football team booked a place at the 2019 AFC Asian Cup semi-finals on Thursday.
Carlos Queiroz’s team defeated China 3-0 at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, the UAE.
Sardar Azmoun set up Mehdi Taremi for the Iranian opener just 18 minutes into the match.
He robbed a hesitant Feng Xiaoting before squaring the ball to Taremi who fired home with ease to register his third goal of the tournament.
Azmoun scored Team Melli’s second goal after racing Liu Yiming in behind and rounding goalkeeper Yan Junling to score shortly after the half-hour mark.
Substitute Karim Ansarifard netted another for Iran after yet another defensive error in the added time.
Iran national football team will meet Japan in the Asian Cup semi-finals on Monday.
