Both sides failed to convert their chances in the first half but that changed six minutes into the second period with forward Mahdi Chesmberah shrugging off markers to unleash a sizzler from 25 metres to put Iran ahead.

The second came 20 minutes later, with substitute Erfan Khodadadian Miri finding space behind the Palestine defence to slot home from the top of the penalty box.

Palestine tried to find their way back but could reduce the deficit by one, with forward Jasin Abouchaker netting in the first minute of added time.

Vietnam 0-3 DPR Korea
DPR Korea were at their devastating best in the second half, scoring almost at will to ease to victory.

After a tight first half, Kim Yu Jin opened the scoring just after the break, slotting home a lobbed ball in the 46th minute.

Ri Hyok Gwong doubled the advantage four minutes later, reacting fastest to knock the ball home after goalkeeper Hoa Xuan Tin parried Sung haky Myong's effort.

Yu Jin grabbed his second in the 58th minute, reacting quickest to a pass from his own half, evading a marker and gleefully slotting home.
