The Koreans, runners-up to China in the 2022 edition, totally dominated a brave but outclassed Iran, who showed no signs of being affected by the war raging at home, while some supporters waved shah-era flags.
South Korea’s Casey Phair, who came on as a second-half substitute, said her side had plenty of room for improvement.
“We worked really hard and performed really well but we could have scored a few more goals and we missed a couple of chances,” Phair said.
