Iran becomes the first Asian country to Qualify for FIFA World Cup 2022

The Hindu  

Iran became the first Asian nation to qualify for November's World Cup finals in Qatar on Thursday as a goal from Mehdi Taremi earned Dragan Skocic's side a 1-0 win over Iraq in Tehran. The win delivers qualification for a third consecutive World Cup finals for the Iranians, after appearances in Brazil and Russia, and the country's sixth in total. Missing injured duo Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan, Paulo Bento's side were made to work for a win that moves it on to 17 points from seven games in Group A of Asia's preliminaries. Only the top two nations in each of Asia's two groups are guaranteed to advance to the World Cup, with the third-placed finishers facing off in a playoff for the right to meet a South American side for a possible fifth Asian berth in Qatar.
