[Bessos]

Turkmenistan 2 - 1 Oman.
5 mins to go

Turkmenistan defending now, and hitting under the ball as much as possible.

[CHaMiLLionaire]

Couple more minutes, hopefully Turkmenistan can hold on.

6 mins extra time, yikes

FT Turkmenistan 2 - 1 Oman

This is VERY good news. Now Iran just needs to make sure to defeat India in Azadi.

The last match against Oman in Azadi will have little meaning now. Oman will have to thrash Iran with a very large goal margin to take the 1st spot from us. Something like 5-0 or higher.

[Damavand]

We are pretty much through. A win against India at Azadi should be a walk in the park.

[Martin-Reza]

Nice. So our 1-1 draw there wasn't so bad after all .

When is the game vs India?

When is the game vs India?

March 2016

[Damavand]

Our goal difference is +17 while Oman is +5. Their only chance is if they defeat Guam by 12 goals at home and defeat Iran at Azadi, and hope India does not lose big against us.

No way, no how.

[perspolis#1]

Kyrgystan just scored against Jordan

[AIrani]

LOL
FT: China 0 - 0 Hong Kong

[onebloodfool]

So we are more or less guaranteed a spot in third round and Asia Cup, right?

[irani8perspolis]

Qatar is the first team to clinch a spot to the 3rd Round.

[Bessos]

So we are more or less guaranteed a spot in third round and Asia Cup, right?

Yes, unless we fail to defeat India in Azadi, and then get thrashed by Oman in Azadi by a large margin.

Ha ha ha no way of that happening.

[Damavand]

So far Qatar has the best offence with 27 goals scored, and Japan and S Korea have the best defense with 0 goals conceded.
