PFDC - Iran's national team beat Ukraine in Kiev by 1-0 tonight. The goal of the day was scored by veteran forward Ali Daei in minute 58. and assisted by young talent Said Lotfi.

58' - Great work by the Irani midfield. They successfully pass 3-4 defenders down the sidelines by passing accurately and sloppy Ukrainian play, Lotfi hangs the ball up in the air as he nears the goalline, and Daei, all alone(the closest defender was at least 5 meters away from him although Daei was meters away from the net), shoots the ball into an empty net (Shovkovsky can only attempt to dive). 0:1...

Ukraine came closest to equalize on 64 min, when Zubov, Melaschenko and Vorobei couldn't decide who should tap the ball into empty net...
