Football fans in Iran were very happy following their team’s victory in Korea.
Before playing South Korea Iran met with Lebanon and they won by 4-0. This win probably gave them an encouragement to play positively with South Korea.


In group A, Iran leads the group with 16 points, followed by South Korea 14 points, then Uzbekistan 14 points and lastly Lebanon with only 5 points.
