  Iran Lose World Cup Warm-Up In China

  Iran’s first full international under new coach Afshin Ghotbi ended in a 1-0 defeat against China in Qinhuangdao.
  
  The Persian team are preparing for a vital 2010 World Cup qualifier in North Korea on June 6.
  
  The win was China’s first under Gao Hongbo and comes just three days after they drew 1-1 with Germany. 
  
  Gao Jin scored the only goal of the game just before the break. The Shanghai Shenhua striker reacted quickly after Yang Hao’s low free-kick came back off the post. 
  
  Iran had plenty of possession and looked dangerous but Team Melli, were, however, unable to break through a well-organised Chinese defence.
  
  Next stop for China is Pyongyang in a qualifier that they must not lose if their dreams of a place at the 2010 World Cup are to stay alive.
  
  China host Iran’s group rivals Saudi Arabia next weekend as the West Asian team prepare for a match in South Korea.
