Qatar aim to salvage some pride in Tashkent
25 Mar 2017 - 9:07
Qatar will be aiming to forget their narrow 1-0 loss to Group A leaders Iran in a hurry as they hit the road to take on Uzbekistan in their next 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier on March 28 in Tashkent.
On Thursday, Iran defeated Jorge Fossati’s side’s 1-0 victory in Doha putting the 2022 World Cup hosts chances of qualifying for the Russia show piece event in jeopardy.
"I had big expectations from the match against Iran, really I am very sad," said Qatar coach Fossati after watching his team lose to a Mehdi Taremi goal.
A cool Mehdi Taremi finish in the 52nd minute was the difference between the two sides in an ill-tempered match.
Defeat left ambitious Qatar bottom of the group, six points off the automatic qualification spots.
"After the goal we continued putting in the effort but we didn't have the organisation," said Fossati.
"Without organisation it's very difficult to beat a very tough opponent."
The Uruguayan tactician rued the missed chances.
"As promised our team tried to do their best and they put up a great fight. I think until the goal was scored, the game was in the balance. After the goal, we pressed hard but were not well organised.
"We had many opportunities that were not converted. I tried with a substitution to add firepower to the attack but unfortunately, we could not get the result we desired."
Asked about Qatar's hopes of making it to Russia he responded glumly: "I am not sure about the mathematics but for sure we are back in a very bad, bad situation. We have to think of the next game." Taremi's winner came during a tight, tense encounter with neither team carving many clear-cut chances.
The result means Qatar are bottom of Group A with just four points from six games.
With four matches to play, Qatar are 10 points behind leaders Iran and six points adrift of South Korea who occupy the top two spots which guarantee automatic qualification to Russia in 2018.
Even their hopes of finishing third, where Uzbekistan sit with nine points, and where they would progress to a last chance play-off now seem remote.
They are even four points back from Syria, a nomadic team, without key players, who have to play their "home" matches in Malaysia due to the ongoing civil war.
Iran can also end China's remote dreams of the World Cup when they play on March 28 in Tehran.
