TEHRAN, April 30 (Xinhua) -- Iran's women's U-19 soccer team failed to advance to AFC championship finals on Tuesday, Tehran Times daily reported.

Despite Iran's 5-1 win against Lebanon on Group B match on Tuesday, they were narrowly denied the progress.

Instead, Vietnam qualified for the AFC U-19 Women's Championship finals in spite of a 2-1 defeat against South Korea on Tuesday.

Vietnam had cause to celebrate after they sealed qualification for the finals ahead of Iran by virtue of their lower fair play points.

Vietnam and Iran played out a 1-1 draw on matchday 1.
