War-torn Syria clinch last-minute World Cup play-off after playing home games 14,000 miles away



An injury time equaliser in kept Syria's World Cup qualification dream alive.

Omar Al Somah fired home in the 93th minute to seal an unlikely draw 2-2 and a play-off place.

Iran, managed by former Manchester United assistant Carlos Queiroz, had already qualified for World Cup 2018 without even conceding a goal.

But the visitors took a shock lead through a Tamer Haj Mohamad header before Iran surged 2-1 ahead.

However, visiting supporters at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran were in dreamland with the late equaliser which sealed third spot in Group A of Asian Qualifying.

War-ravaged Syria will now face either Australia or Saudi Arabia in a two-legged play-off in October.

Ah that's cool. Poor Uzbekistan though.

Wouldn't have thought they (Syria) would stand much chance against Saudi Arabia or Australia, mind, in the playoffs.

Niamh. 05-09-2017 07:14 PM
Good for them :love:

Shaun 05-09-2017 07:32 PM

Whoever wins goes on to face CONCACAF 4th Place for a WCQ.

Could reasonably be the United States.

Brother Leon 05-10-2017 10:28 PM
Here for Syria knocking out USA.

Denver 10-10-2017 11:35 AM
Can we just ban them on the grounds they are not Asian and let Syria through

Denver 10-10-2017 11:39 AM
Hope they get a paling in the next round

Drew. 10-10-2017 11:54 AM
Those Australians are proper *****, for the exception of Tim who never seems to age and remains a classy professional. Feel for Syria, enjoyed that more than i thought i would
