The Asian Cup is upset again, and Qatar fairy ball advances to the final!
After the referee's whistle blew, the two sides dispersed and a fierce confrontation ensued. Iran scored a fine goal in the third minute as they launched a fierce attack from outside the Qatar penalty area, and when the defenders couldn't get the ball out of the way, Azmoun kicked the ball into the opposition goal to give the Bosnian Iron Knights a 1-0 scoreline.
Iran had another good chance to score in the 15th minute. Taremi was picked up with a long pass in midfield, but a well-timed goal from the Qatari defender prevented Iran from widening the gap.
The Qataris narrowly escaped and tied the game one minute later. Afif received a long pass from a player, dribbled into the box, and then inverted a triangle pass to Gabil's goal, where he received a sharp shot, but the ball touched the Iranian and then came back to give Qatar the opportunity to take a 1-0 lead.
Towards the end of the first half, the dysfunctional Afif stepped up again and sent the ball to the vicinity of the Iranian defender, the Qataris paused and began to counterattack, Afif led three men into the Iranian penalty area, broke through their defense and smashed the ball into the far corner, Qatar reversed 2-1 and returned to the dressing room.
Iran unfolded after tying the game, Ezzatorahi hit the opposing defender's arm with a kick and the referee immediately checked the VAR before allowing Iran to take a free throw.
In the 75th minute, Iran once again took advantage of the Qatari defenders to constantly change players, and the cooperation was not tacit enough, Taremi and Azmoun sent the ball out one after another, blocking the home gate, but in the end it still failed to attack the home field, Qatar fell into passivity, 82 minutes, Hatem seized a rare opportunity, a strong shot outside the penalty area, just brought to the penalty area by Ali, Ali calmly kicked the ball in! Qatar won 3-2, and it can be seen from the slow motion that Ali was indeed fouling, and the referee did not use VAR to intervene, which also caused a lot of controversy.
After a tough match, Qatar defeated the Persian cavalry to enter this World Cup, while their arch-rivals Jordan are a weaker team, with a world ranking of only 87, lower than China's 79th.
