Charleroi's striker Kave Rezaei found the net seconds into the second half with a left-foot shot from inside the box.
The Iranian team managed to block Bosnia's efforts for equalizing the match as the European team did not find significant opportunities for scoring.
In the stoppage time, two substitutes proved qualities and doubled the lead for Iran. Midfielder Saeed Ezatollahi gave a through pass to talented striker Mehdi Ghayedi and he converted the ball with a powerful shot to the right corner of the net.
