Iran’s volleyball squad defeats Argentina in straight sets in the second round of the FIVB world games.

“Iranian opposite Amir Ghafour wreaked havoc on the Argentine blockers as he powered his team with a 17-point performance to secure their second victory in straight sets (25-15, 25-23, 25-16) in the FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship on Thursday,” that is what the website of the Federation International de Volleyball said about Iran’s decisive triumph over Argentina.
