Iran U23 football team defeated North Korea 3-0 in the series of Asian Games in Jakarta on Friday.
Amir Roostaei, Mehdi Ghaedi and Aref Aghasi scored for Iran in 38, 69 and 90+2 minutes.
Beginning an offensive game, Iran was keen on scoring goals in the early minutes but Roostaei’s efforts in the 18th and 21st minutes did not bear fruit, IRNA reported.
In no mood to fall back, Iran pushed at the North Korean defense and in the 28th minute Roostaei shot a wandering ball to the corner of the goal to put Iran in front.
