Iran national team qualifies for the final of the Al Ain International Cup

The Iran national team has qualified for the final match of the Al Ain International Football Cup after defeating Cape Verde 5–4 on penalty kicks, following a 0–0 draw in regular time, in the match hosted at Hazza bin Zayed Stadium.

Iran will await in the final—scheduled for November 18—the winner of the match between Egypt and Uzbekistan, which will be played tomorrow, Friday, at Hazza bin Zayed Stadium. The losing team from that match will play in the third-place playoff on November 17.

The match events were exciting between the two teams amid many attacking attempts that failed to find success, until the outcome was decided by penalty kicks.
