The ‘Eagles of Qaisoun’ could not maintain their flight, falling in the penalty shootout against Iran in an attractive match that began in favor of the Persians due to a penalty definition by Mehdi Taremi (36′). In the midst of adversity, Héctor Cúper’s men stirred up the hornet’s nest with the entry of ‘Sheik’ (58′).

A minute after the variation, Sabbag influenced the result by winning a free kick inside the area with great cleverness. The infraction by goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand, at first, went unnoticed until the Video Referee System pointed out the infraction to the referee, verified from the VAR monitors. The author of the tie was the legendary Omar Kharbin.

The result did not change, forcing an extra time in which none of the protagonists made a difference. Thus, the fateful round of penalties began. Sabbag opened the account for Syria with a good shot of the ball, but his teammates could not keep up the pace, missing two shots, which led to Iran’s qualification for the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup.
