The Asian champions, who suffered a shock defeat against Spain on the opening match day, managed to find their form.
After a slow start from both teams, Iran moved to a 3 goal lead and held a 4-2 margin at the break. Iran scored soon after the interval, but for much of the remainder of the half it was Morocco dominating the game, leaving the Asian Champions to happily counter-attack.
The final score, 5-3 and now Iran will look to make their way to the Round of 16 on Sunday when they tackle Azerbaijan. Morocco on the other hand, will go up against 2-time World Champions Spain.
