The goalkeepers proved the heroes for IR Iran as both stoppers netted three between them to help Team Melli to victory over Tahiti at UAE 2024 Dubai™.

Two quick-fire second period goals from Tahiti put them in control of affairs, before Iranian goalkeeper Hamid Behzadpour scored a brace either side of a superb strike by fellow stopper Seyed Mirjalili to give Iran the lead.

Mohammadali Mokhtari eventually made the game safe with 90 seconds on the clock, securing the victory and top spot in Group B for Team Melli. Tahiti, for their part, also advance to the quarter-finals in second place.
