Got the job done. I mean as I’m writing this it’s nearly 4 years since I’ve watched these group stage games, so my memory is kind of clouded. We did what we had to do, with all due respect to the countries in this group, anything aside from topping the group would’ve been a failure. 9/9 was the norm and we met it. 2-1 against uae isn’t a desirable result and it just shows for how long Iran had been able to just scrape results against these Asian sides whether in Asian cup or in qualifying.

Player of the match

Mehdi Taremi
