Team Iran have ended up second in 2022 Volleyball World Championship�Pool F after succumbing to a 3-1 defeat against the Netherlands.

Behrouz Ataei�s men fell behind early in the opening set and never recovered to go down 25-22. They managed to rally from a 3-point deficit to take the second 25-21, but couldn�t carry the momentum into the third and gave it away 25-20.

They seemed to be on course to send the match to a decider when they were up by 7 points at 13-6 in the 4th.

But instead in a sudden change of events they�eventually found themselves on the wrong end of a 25-18 rout. Despite the defeat Iran still advance into the last 16, but as pool F�s runners-up behind the Netherlands.
