Inter Milan striker Mehdi Taremi scored the only goal in a 1-0 win over Kyrgyz Republic but profligacy became a problem in the game, an area in which Ghalenoei is seeking to improve his side when they face a confident United Arab Emirates on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the second half, our ball circulation was good, we created opportunities and had shots on target but in general, we should have played better than this,\u201d admitted Ghalenoei.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, it is natural, you can see that in the first game, Australia lost to Bahrain at home and Korea Republic only drew with Palestine.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe could have scored five or six today but our offensive substitutions didn\u2019t quite work out. We will try to show better quality in the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Making their first appearance at this stage of the qualification, Kyrgyz Republic produced a commendable performance in a tough away fixture to keep IR Iran honest throughout the match at Foolad Shahr Stadium.<\/p>\n
Maksim Lisitsyn\u2019s side even had chances to snatch a draw but like his counterpart, working on their finishing will be top of the agenda ahead of Tuesday’s meeting with Uzbekistan in Bishkek.<\/p>\n
“We had a difficult first half and I\u2019m grateful to the players for continuing to fight,\u201d said Lisitsyn. \u201cAfter some reorganisation, we managed to create good moments in the second half<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a chance, and we are very disappointed that we didn’t use it. We didn’t use those moments well, but it’s football. Let’s prepare for the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
