The Iranian squad triumphed over Ukraine 3-0 (25-14, 25-18 and 25-18) in a fixture staged at the Sadra Sport Complex in the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz on Saturday.

The Iranians were determined to maintain the lead in the second set. They kept pace to establish a seven-point lead, and won the set at 25-18.

The Bosnian side took the first set 25-22, before Iran overcame the deficit and won the second and third sets 25-17 and 25-19.
The European side, however, claimed the fourth set by 25 points to 22.
