Vietnam 0 Iran 2: Azmoun at the double to seal qualification

Sardar Azmoun underlined his status as Iran's star attraction as Carlos Queiroz's side made light work of Vietnam in a 2-0 Asian Cup win.

A goal in each half from star forward Sardar Azmoun sealed a routine 2-0 win for Iran over Vietnam and a place in the knockout stages of the Asian Cup for Carlos Queiroz's side.

Azmoun was on target during his country's 5-0 rout of Yemen and headed the opening goal at Al Nahyan Stadium seven minutes before half-time.

Iran's superior quality was more tellingly felt after the break, with the Rubin Kazan attacker sealing the points in the 69th minute.
