Without losing heart with the adverse outcome, the Asian team counter-attacked and almost scored the equalizer - Franklin defended the kick.

Also from the left side of the court, Falcão, who started the match on the bench, received a ball, finalizing with a subtle touch over the head of the goalkeeper, giving no chance for Iran 3-0.
Finding it easy to pass through the opponent’s defense, the Brazilian National Team continued pressing to increase the advantage. Before the interval, Wilde scored twice, 5 to 0, end of first half.

Almost with the cup in their hand, the yellow-green team slowed down the rhythm in the second half. At 30min08, the team from Asian scored after a corner kick - goal by the fixed Jasem Soltani.
