MUMBAI: India tried hard, but were held to a frustrating goalless draw by a resolute Iran, who were playing in this tournament for the first time, in the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium on Thursday night.
The 'Blue Tigresses' were the dominant side for the majority of the Group A match, particularly in the second half where they created some golden opportunities, but just weren't clinical in front of the goal. With their players covering their heads neatly in hijab, Iran, who fought bravely, came through this match with their head held high.
