South Korea outclass Iran in Asian Women’s Cup opener

GOLD COAST, Australia: South Korea went to the top of Pool A in the Asian Women’s Cup after overcoming a dogged Iran 3-0 in their tournament opener on Queensland’s Gold Coast on Monday. 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.
