Iran Held by Chinese Taipei at AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran was held to a goalless draw by Chinese Taipei in the AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament - Asian Qualifiers Round 2 Group A fixture at the Perth Rectangular Stadium on Sunday.

Both teams were vying for their first win, having suffered defeats against Australia (0-2) and the Philippines (1-4) respectively.

Iran almost shocked Chinese Taipei in the fourth minute of added time when Samaneh Chahkandi slipped a shot through an onrushing Chinese Taipei keeper Cheng Ssu-yu, only for Ting Chia-ying to scramble the ball to safety.

Iran will meet the Philippines on Wednesday, while Chinese Taipei play Australia.
