Default War Torn Syria Qualify For World Cup Play Off With Last Gasp Goal

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.

What a beautiful moment for people that have been through so much.

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.

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

Could reasonably be the United States.

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
