Although Iran had already qualified, it was a matter of honor to keep the unbeaten record of the team. Mohajerani fielded a youth team against the full strength Kuwait and still managed to beat them 2–1 in a historic match.

    I asked my father who unfortunately had little details to provide besides it was very hyped because Kuwait was one of the best Asian teams along with our own team in that qualification round. Any further details or context would be most appreciated (e.g., how did this challenge come about? Who was the instigator, what was said...etc.)???
    I remember a picture from this match prior to kickoff where the arab players held a banner congratulating TM on their advancement.
    I went to Sharif University. I'm a superior genetic mutation, an improvement on the existing mediocre stock.
