Iran qualifies for Asian Cup last 16 after beating UAE
Iran secured a place in the AFC Asian Cup knockouts as Team Melli was victorious in its third game with a 2-1 win over the UAE in Al Rayyan’s Education City Stadium of Qatar on Tuesday.
Iranian Striker Mehdi Taremi scored two goals for Iran while two other goals by Ali Qolizadeh and Mohammad Mohebbi were denied for Iran by VAR. A goal by Yahya Al-Ghassani was not enough for the UAE to stop Iran.
After the match, Iran sealed top spot with nine points in the Group C of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.
