TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran national football team forward Sardar Azmoun’s goal was shortlisted among the Goal of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.
The tournament turned out to be a spectacular 18th edition of the prestigious competition, with host Qatar lifting its second successive title after an action-packed month of football.

Team Melli made an electric start to its semi-final tie against Qatar with Alireza Jahanbakhsh’s long throw wreaking havoc inside the penalty box before Azmoun’s improvised bicycle kick found the net in just the fourth minute for one of the fastest goals in this year’s tournament.
