TEHRAN, IRAN: After watching his team lose 0-2 to Iran in the final round of qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup on Thursday, Qatar coach Jose Carreno was left ruing individual errors in the closing stages of the match to deny Qatar a thoroughly deserved better result. For most of the match in Tehran, the hosts were second best to Qatar. “I can only say that I’m sorry for the defeat, we will be better in our next games,” said Qatar coach Jose Daniel Carreno. “We had a good match, the teams were aware of one another’s strengths and weaknesses. “Both teams had limited space to play in as we knew each other very well. They were seeking to score from high crosses but we didn’t allow them to do so. However we conceded a goal by making an individual mistake. “It was a difficult and tight game. From where I watched the game, Iran’s first goal seemed to be scored from an offside position. But we made a bad mistake, our goalkeeper played the ball very bad. As it appeared to me the player who scored the first goal was offside. However the referee was in a better position and certainly made the right decision.” Qatar will next take on Uzbekistan on September 6, a win will propel Al Annabi in the fray for a place in Russia ‘’We have now closed the book on tonight’s match, we must now focus on our next game with Uzbekistan, playing at home will hopefully help us to perform to our standards, but in order to get there, we have to give it all we got in the coming days to be fully prepared when game day comes’’, he concluded.
