Seyed Hossein Mousavi<\/a>, Afghanistan established early control. First-half goals from Akbar Kazemi, Seyed Morteza Hosseini, and Reza Hosseinpour built a comfortable 3\u20130 cushion. As Peru pushed higher to narrow the gap, Afghanistan capitalized on counter-attacking opportunities created by Peru’s aggressive stance.<\/p>\nIn the second half, Peru deployed a power-play system (five-on-four) to mount pressure, but Afghanistan\u2019s compact defense and key saves by goalkeeper Mohammad Javad Safari kept a clean sheet. With this victory, Afghanistan advanced as group winners alongside Japan, who qualified in second place with 2 points. Afghanistan will now face the runner-up of Group A (either Cape Verde or Indonesia) in the semifinals, while Brazil clinched the top spot in Group A.<\/p>\n
Afghanistan’s convincing win over Peru underscores the team’s growing tactical maturity under Dejan Dedovi\u0107 on the international stage. Neutralizing Peru’s power-play tactic while maintaining composure under pressure highlights both tactical preparation and key individual performances, particularly from goalkeeper Javad Safari.<\/p>\n
Advancing to the semifinals of a competitive intercontinental tournament serves as a crucial milestone in Afghanistan’s preparation for upcoming continental and global competitions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
