Iran defeat Lebanon in the final match of their group in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers in the northwestern Iranian city of Mashhad with goals from Sardar Azmoun and Alireza Jahanbakhsh .

The first goal was scored in the 35th minute. On a pass through the middle from Noorafkan, who broke through the Lebanese defense, Azmoun managed to finish low, in the left corner, with no chance for Matar, getting the ball to the net.

The second goal was scored in the 72nd minute.
