UAE top group after beating Iran - Al Jazeera

[Sharkie]

Substitute Reza Ghoochannejhad scored an injury-time goal to lift Iran to a 1-0 win over UAE and top spot in Group C at the Asian Cup.

Despite a free-flowing game, and a virtuoso performance by UAE playmaker Omar Abdulrahman, neither side could find a breakthrough until Ghoochannejhad's late strike helped Asia's top-ranked team avoid a likely quarterfinal showdown with Japan.

UAE appealed for offside when Ghoochannejhad pounced on a ball that had ricocheted off teammate Andranik Teymourian and directed his header into the top corner from close range. However, television replays indicated the striker had just stayed onside.

Iran will now face the runners-up of Group D, likely to be Iraq or Jordan, in the quarter-final at Canberra on Friday, while the UAE now likely faces Japan in Sydney.

Meanwhile, in Sydney, Sayed Jafaar produced a stunning long-range strike in the 82nd minute to lift Bahrain to a 2-1 victory over Qatar for its first win of the tournament.

Pathetic that this Persian Gulf Qatari-state owned news media made such a blunder.

Third thread about it.

[eerooni]

Its funny how even when the truth is staring them in the eye, Arabs deny Iran's right to truth and fame!!! Goes to show how blind they are when it comes to the Persian Gulf!! They know its Persian Gulf without a shred of doubt, yet cannot get themselves to accept this truth!! How very sad from such little pathetic people!....

Guys maybe, just maybe it was a typo in the title. The rest of the article clearly points out Iran won 1-0. Just playing devil's advocate here but it could have been an honest mistake.
