Qatar Edges 10-Man Iran in 2026 World Cup Qualifier

TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Qatar kept its FIFA World Cup qualification hopes alive on Thursday as Pedro Correia scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over the 10 men of Iran in Doha to confirm his side’s progress to the playoffs of the AFC Asian Qualifiers - Road to 26.

The back-to-back AFC Asian Cup champion made the most of Milad Mohammadi’s 35th minute sending off to secure a win against the already-qualified Iranians as Qatar moved into fourth place in Group A and advance to the playoffs, where an additional two slots to the FIFA World Cup 2026 will be at stake.

Correia netted in the 41st minute and victory in Julien Lopetegui’s first game in charge takes the Qataris onto 13 points from nine games and leaves the 2022 FIFA World Cup hosts a point behind the United Arab Emirates with Tuesday’s clash with Uzbekistan remaining.
