Ghalenoei Very Happy over Win against Qatar
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Head coach Amir Ghalenoei will always fondly remember Iran’s 4-1 win over Qatar in the AFC Asian Qualifiers – Road to 26 which took the team to the top of the Group A standings on Tuesday.
Sardar Azmoun and Mohammed Mohebi netted a brace each to cancel out Almoez Ali’s opener to move Iran up to 10 points, level with Uzbekistan but ahead on goal difference.
“I think it was one of our good days,” said Ghalenoei. “We scored four goals and had several other opportunities.
“Overall, it was a very good game. Congratulations to Qatar for playing football. It was one of the best games of the group that Asia enjoyed.
“This win will help us further. We can rejoice for a day or two and then we have to think about the next games with Kyrgyzstan and DPR Korea. I hope we can make Iranian people happy with more good games,” Ghalenoei concluded.
