AFC U20 Asian Cup China: Iran and Jordan both registered crucial victories in their respective AFC U20 Asian Cup China 2025 matches on Sunday, taking significant strides toward the knockout stage.

Iran cruised to a dominant 6-0 victory over Yemen in their Group C tie at the Shenzhen Youth Football Training Base Pitch 1. From the opening whistle, Iran asserted control. Yemen created early chances, with Mohammed Al Awami firing wide in the 6th minute and Adel Qasem attempting a looping shot in the 8th, but neither effort was on target.

However, Iran soon took over. In the 26th minute, Abolfazl Zamani pounced on a loose ball to score the opener, sending his shot into the top left corner. Zamani doubled his tally in the 34th minute with a header after Yemen failed to clear a cross from Yaghoob Barajeh.
