Aiman Al Hakeem Praises Syrian Players for Draw against Iran
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Syria national football team coach Aiman Al Hakeem has praised his players after draw against Iran in the 2018 World Cup qualifier.
On Tuesday in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium, Syria drew 2-2 with Iran in Tehran’s Azadi Stadium and will now play Group B’s third-placed team Australia in play-offs, with the winner going into an intercontinental clash against the fourth-placed side from the CONCACAF federation.
“First of all, I would like to congratulate all the Syrian people over advancing to the play-offs,” Al Hakeem said in the post-match news conference.
“We made a great job since we cannot play in our home. Our players were determined to get result in the match against Iran and we are so happy since we did it,” he added.
“From now on, we prepare well for two matches against Australia. We want to continue our journey toward Russia,” Al Hakeem concluded.
