Team Melli leads Guam by 2 two goals at the end of the first half scored by center forward Mehdi Taremi (12′)and Kamal Kamyabinia (30′) .
The Group D match played on Synthetic grass in Guam FA Field was a comfortable affair as Team Melli could have easily ended that half with double the current score. The makeshift Iran team missing many players and with only two senior players in the line up , did not find much difficulty either with the pitch or the opposition.
Late in the half, Iran star Mehdi Torabi who played a role in both goals was injured and replaced by Masoud Shojaei. Karim Ansarifard hit the post and missed the chance to open his account after a long absence.
