The Red Angels will meet either Melbourne City, Australia or the Taihin Blue Whale in Taipei, China in the semi-finals in May, the Tehran Times reported.
The Red Angels tested Bam Katoon in three minutes as soon as Kim Saw-woon saw her attempt at volley, saved by keeper Raha Yazdani.
Bam Katoon fell into rhythm and rattled the left post with long distance effort after Negin Zandi almost surprised the Korean side eight minutes after collecting Mona Hamdi’s pass.
The Iranians threatened again five minutes later, and Merika Motevali forced Red Angels keeper Kim Min-jun to force him to preserve his fingertips.
Bam Katoon was thrown out 23 minutes after Kim Soo-woon sped up the bottom right, then sent out Yuka Toriumi’s delightful cross.
The Red Angels attacked in the second half, but were frustrated by Bam Katoon’s determined defense when Jang Chan Taitain saw a shot of his left foot cleared from just inside the box by Sarshin Kamangal.
However, BAM Khatoon’s resistance eventually broke 81 minutes after his concentration erupted. Suzuki Haruhi placed his chest to send out a Deft Lob and replace Kim.
