Team Melli is scheduled to face Tajikistan on Thursday, according to the Tehran Times.
“We played for a long time, and it was their first game, so they were stressed out. I was hoping they would play the way they actually did in this game, but the stress thwarted that. Still, the players fought to the end and gave me a good performance that I was happy with.
“I’ll be playing Tajikistan tomorrow. Like Kyrgyzstan, this team isn’t particularly strong. The Kaba Tournament is a great opportunity to prepare to participate in the Islamic Games,” she added.
