Iran vs. Finland

Iran vs. Finland

It was a very difficult game for both sides, but this outcome fits well into Iran’s plans! 

Igor Kolakovic’s side has managed to score a 3-2 victory and to finish the group stage with a 4-1 record, which gives them a huge chance for the Final Six. Of course, they will need more wins in the second round.

Finland have finished in the fourth place which means they are going to play in the Pool E with Italy.

Milad Ebadipour was the top scorer with 18 points, while Niko Sihkonen had 19 in the Finnish team.
