As a result, Iran scored six points, and Jordan is the opponent in Saturday’s final round match. The victory was first in Lebanon after a loss in the previous two games.
Iran’s high-pitched press game made Lebanon uncomfortable, but the West Asian side quickly changed its disadvantage in five minutes, shocking the Central Asian side, according to the Tehran Times.
Zahwa Arabi took ownership to half of her and then delivered a long-distance pass to Leila Iskandar.
The Lebanese duo was recombined in the 22nd minute and again combined with Arabian free-kick discovery Iskandar.
The Central Asian side ultimately paid off 58 minutes after Negin Zandi powered the right, then Fateme Shaban supplied the cross to score with a simple finish.
However, Lebanon recovered a two-goal cushion in the 71st minute, with Iskandar attacking with a poor pass from substitute Atefe Imani and threading to Maarouf, who threw the ball through.
