Iran powered past hosts Thailand 5-1 in the final to lift the 2021 Continental Futsal Championship crown at the Show DC Hall 1, Show DC Shopping Centre in Bangkok.

The world No.6 showed quality to score three goals in the first half before finding the back of the net twice more after the break for the win.

An early strike from Alireza Rafieipour in the second minute of play set the tone and pace of the game as Behzad Azimi Yancheshmeh then added two more (13th and 19th minute) for Iran to take a comfortable 3-0 lead at the half.

Two minutes after the restart and Thailand fell further behind when Alireza struck home for his second as Farhad Tavakoli Roozbahani then put the match beyond reach for Iran’s fifth in the 34th minute.

Thailand finally got the goal they were looking for three minutes to the end through Nattavut Madyalan.

In the meantime, Uzbekistan beat Egypt 4-0 to take third place.
