A back-and-forth match which the South American side won leaves the door open for almost the entire group
Brazil won their second match at Portugal 2015, but it did not come easily to the four-time champions after Iran had a 3-1 lead in the first period.
Both sides had won their opening matches in Espinho—Brazil defeated Mexico 5-1 and Iran overcame Spain 6-5. The two teams were also drawn in the same group at Tahiti 2013. Brazil won that time around 4-1 then, but in Espinho, Iran made life much tougher on their South American opposition.
An exciting first period in Espinho saw a brace by Amir Akbari put Iran ahead twice, including a 3-1 lead. However, goals from Bruno Xavier and Bokinha helped Brazil fight back to bring the match level by the end of the period.
The Brazilians reach closer to the quarter-finals, although they are not formally through. All four teams in Group C still have a chance of advancing to the last-eight.
