Syria produced a remarkable draw against AFC heavyweights Iran, who have already qualified for the 2018 World Cup. With the Qasioun Eagles 2-1 down entering the final seconds, their World
Cup dream looked to be over – at that point the war-torn nation were behind Uzbekistan in fourth place. A Sardar Azmoun brace had put Iran in control and looked to be extending Carlos
Queiroz's side's lead at the top, but Omar Al Soma changed everything with a late strike which keeps his nation in contention for World Cup qualification. You may like Al
