I really like Kia, I hope he can do it but I don't think he would be able to. Zero preparation for this team.
He was really disappointed prior to tournament.
Iran goal was nice, you can see how much it means to the young lads.

I saw a good potion of the game and I thought Iran did pretty well, given the totality of the situation, preparation etc. Qatar is a good team. Iran is stil suffering from a bit of the khoreh syndrome, but I have to admit much better than previous editions.

Kia seems to be doing well. Hope he can take the team all the way to the Olympics and then some. He and Iran deserve any success coming their way. BTW. Pretty awesome goal just at the right time.

Mistake by Ghorbani and rash challenge by Hashemnejhad leads to penalty and equaliser for Turkmenistan.

TM Omid looked comfortable before the penalty , but gave away the ball a couple of times and the last one resulted in the penalty and equaliser.

Omid dominating but missing a couple of chances.

Ref with help from VAR overruled a penalty initially called by the ref for Iran.

Iran 1-1 Turkmenistan

Turkmenistan's equaliser (from penalty spot) came against the run of play as Iran had been dominating the game from the start till mistakes by Ghorbani & Hashemnejhad resulted in Turkmenistan's penalty and equaliser.

Giving the ball away too often has been a problem for this TM Omid side in both matches and it has resulted in Qatar's goal & Turkmenistan's penalty and subsequent goal.
