Iranian girls lift CAFA U18 trophy
A one-all draw against the Kyrgyz Republic saw Iran retain the CAFA U18 Women’s Championship in Dushanbe, Tajikistan.
Parnia Rahmani found the net for Maryam Jahan-Nejati’s girls midway through the second half, only to see her goal canceled out by Ayana Karataeva’s 92nd-minute equalizer.
The Stalemate was still enough for Iran to finish atop the table in the five-team round-robin tournament, organized by the Central Asian Football Association.
Iran collected 10 points – courtesy of successive victories over Uzbekistan (4-2), Turkmenistan (7-0), and Tajikistan (5-0) before Sunday’s draw – with Uzbekistan finishing second on nine.
