Uzbekistan 0-1 Iran 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC 4th Round
Substitute Mohammad Reza Khalatbari scored a dramatic winner with virtually the last kick of the match as Iran snatched a 1-0 win over Uzbekistan in Sunday’s Group A opener in the final round of qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
An inspirational performance from Iran goalkeeper Mahdi Rahmati had kept the home side at bay at Jar Stadium before Uzbekistan thought they had finally broken the deadlock with just over a quarter of an hour remaining only for defender Jalal Hosseini to produce a last-ditch goalline clearance to deny captain Odil Akhmedov.
