00:00Tout est quasiment joué dans ce groupe A. On connaît déjà les deux qualifiés directs, ce sont l'Iran et l'Ouzbékistan.
00:13On connaît les deux barragistes, les Émirats Arabes Unis et le Qatar, et les deux éliminés, le Kyrgyzstan et la Corée du Nord.
00:19Le dernier suspense, c'est la première place qui se joue à distance entre l'Iran et l'Ouzbékistan.
00:23L'Iran qui reçoit les derniers, la Corée du Nord est en très bonne position.
00:30L'Iran aim to return to winning ways and finish on a high as they welcome DPR Korea to the Azadi Stadium on the final day of action in Group A.
00:39While the visitors are left playing for pride, l'Iran still have work to do if they want to finish top of the pile,
00:45with l'Ouzbékistan currently top after beating Qatar earlier in the day.
00:48After a disappointing defeat on Match Day 9, Team Melly are eager to set the record straight again
00:53and add to their impressive 20-point tally and six wins so far in Group A,
00:57although just a draw will be enough to finish first.
01:00DPR Korea have been out of the race for some time now and are still without a win at the bottom of the table.
01:05But victory on the final day against the table toppers would certainly give them something to celebrate before they bid farewell.
01:12Ninth minute of play and it's been all Iran so far.
01:16All in white and powering forward with the powerful shots from outside the box there from Mehdi Taremi.
01:21Kangju Hyuk wide awake though, good save.
01:25Corner for Iran, the 11th minute here, taken short, then the shot again from distance, this time from Youssefi.
01:34Kangju Hyuk comes up with the goods once more.
01:38Not long later, another really big opportunity, probably the best of the game so far for Iran.
01:43Taremi denied by Kangju Hyuk, the visitors' best performer so far.
01:50And Iran would show no signs of slowing down.
01:54Another ferocious effort.
01:56Mehdi Mohebi, the beautiful strike, always curling away from goal.
02:0337th minute, still looking for the opener here.
02:07It's been one-way traffic, and here come Iran once more into the centre, and what a miss that is by Morganlu.
02:17Beautiful build-up play, unselfish from Mohebi.
02:20Plays it up on a silver platter.
02:22And well, harder to miss and score from there, but miss he did.
02:27So, 0-0 at the break.
02:29Plenty of chances for Iran.
02:30Still no goals here as we head into the second half.
02:34Going towards the hour mark.
02:37What a strike that is from Riosong.
02:42First real shot at goal.
02:44All the visitors forcing a save from Hussaini.
02:48Five minutes later, that is a terrible, terrible tackle from Kietam.
02:54No surprise to see him, given his marching orders.
02:58DPR Korea down to 10.
03:00As we head into the 74th minute now.
03:05Goes in from a wide position, finds its way through, and the rebound finds its way into the back of the net.
03:11Finally, Iran have their goal.
03:13The goal they thoroughly deserve.
03:15It has to be said.
03:16Another fine save, initially by Kangju Hyok.
03:19But can do nothing to keep the second attempt out from Mohebi.
03:23Iran 1-0 up.
03:25Very quickly, looking for a second here in the 77th.
03:30All out wide.
03:31Back into the middle.
03:32Taremi with the header.
03:34Doesn't get a lot of power on it, but it's enough to help it bobble over the line.
03:39Taremi with his 53rd international goal.
03:43Iran, all of a sudden, starting to find their rhythm in that final third.
03:49They've missed so many opportunities next to coming in stoppage time.
03:53And it would give them a third goal as well.
03:56Amir Hossein.
03:56Hossein Zadek put through on goal by Mehdi Taremi.
04:00The goal scorer turning provider.
04:02To give Hossein Zadek just his second international goal.
04:06That would cap things off as well.
04:08Iran win comfortably in the end to secure a top spot finish in Group A.
04:12And can now look forward to next summer's World Cup with another win under their belt.
04:16And eager to impress on their return to football's biggest stage.
04:32There's a carnival atmosphere as Uzbekistan hosts Qatar in Group A.
04:36The home nation have qualified for the FIFA World Cup for the first time.
04:40And they will want to finish with a win in front of their jubilant fans.
04:44They could still top the group and name a strong side after their goalless draw against UAE.
04:48Last time out, got them over the line.
04:52Qatar, meanwhile, are assured of a playoff place after their 1-0 win against IR Iran.
04:58Pedro Miguel with the only goal in Hulen Lopetegui's first match in charge.
05:03A magnificent atmosphere in the stadium.
05:08And Uzbekistan have surfed the wave of euphoria so far.
05:13Here they come once again in the 28th minute.
05:16As that's some weak defending from Qatar.
05:19And Togongoyev, it's a brilliant strike there.
05:22It arrows in off the bar for 1-0 to Uzbekistan.
05:26It's an absolutely cracking finish.
05:30Qatar really should defend it better.
05:32But once he gets in there, the goalkeeper stands no chance at all.
05:38And that really has got the home side going.
05:41Just a couple of minutes later, Shomorodov goes for the strike.
05:46It's a low one there.
05:47And it's turned away by Zakaria.
05:50The captain here causing all kinds of trouble for Qatar.
05:55Qatar won the reverse fixture 3-2 with a late, late goal.
05:58But they just cannot get going in this first half.
06:02And it's towards the end of it.
06:03Here's another chance for Shomorodov.
06:06And he forces the save from Zakaria again.
06:10Uzbekistan on top in that first half.
06:13They'll be wondering how they're not more than 1-0 up.
06:16And they come out.
06:18All guns blazing in the second half.
06:21As Musharipov here picks up the possession on the left wing.
06:24He cuts in.
06:25Goes for goal.
06:26And it doesn't quite hit the target.
06:29You can see here he's looking to get the curl on it.
06:32He just hits it two straight.
06:33Just over an hour gone now.
06:37Qatar again struggling to get the ball away.
06:42As Ali Zhonov makes a great run.
06:44He's got the ball here.
06:45And Zakaria with another important save there.
06:50Somehow it's still only 1-0 to Uzbekistan.
06:53As it's Ali Zhonov this time who passes up the opportunity.
07:00Coming up towards the midway point in the second half.
07:04As Musharipov again is causing trouble on the left.
07:07Shomorodov is in.
07:09But he hits the side netting.
07:12His eyes lit up as the ball came towards him.
07:15But it's Suhail in fact with a fantastic block.
07:19Just under five minutes to go now.
07:21It's been constant pressure from Uzbekistan.
07:24As that's a fantastic ball over the top.
07:26And Shomorodov this time does not miss.
07:30It's a great touch and a fantastic strike.
07:33For a remarkable goal.
07:35For 2-0 to Uzbekistan.
07:38Iskandarov with the pass.
07:40Look at that for a touch.
07:42And the first time strike into the top corner.
07:46Now a late quarter in stoppage time for Uzbekistan.
07:49In it comes.
07:51Zachary is flailing.
07:52And that's 3-0.
07:54The sub Sergeyev scores an easy header.
07:58He's only just come on.
08:01The keeper missing it completely.
08:03And that wraps it up at 3-0.
08:05The home fans are absolutely delighted with the results.
08:08And of course qualification.
08:11For Qatar.
08:11It's a disappointing end to an inconsistent campaign.
08:15But at least they have the playoffs to look forward to.
08:17Ladies and gentlemen.
08:20The Asian football conference will spread their minds.
08:23The prayer of the month.
08:32Match day 10 in Group A of the AFC's Asian qualifiers sees Kyrgyz Republic host the United Arab Emirates in Bishkek.
08:39The hosts can't advance further on their road to the World Cup.
08:43But having picked up a creditable seven points already in their maiden appearance at this stage.
08:47They'll be aiming to reach double figures with one last win on home soil.
08:51For the UAE team.
08:55New boss Cosmin Olariou saw his side lose any chance of a top two qualifying spot with their draw last week.
09:00But they have the chance now to secure third in the group before heading on to the next phase of qualifying.
09:05Number nine Harib Suhail scored a brace in a 3-0 win the last time the two teams met.
09:11The UAE have won this back.
09:13Luanginho spots the through ball down the middle for Harib Suhail.
09:16The goalkeeper gets a touch.
09:18But Suhail has scored again against Kyrgyz Republic.
09:221-0 United Arab Emirates with half an hour gone.
09:26Tokutayev got a touch to it but couldn't stop it from going in.
09:31Kyrgyz Corner and send it in.
09:34He's headed towards the edge of a box.
09:37Fired back in by Al Masbikov.
09:40Too high in the end from the 19-year-old.
09:45Direct free kick for Kyrgyz Republic.
09:48Alei Kishin the captain to take it with the left foot.
09:51Got it over the wall.
09:52Killed it just over the crossbar too.
09:58Grausman with the throw-in in stoppage time at the end of the first half here.
10:03It's into the mixer.
10:04UAE can't get it away.
10:06Kishin fires it on target from distance and it's back off the post.
10:09Was Merk fouled there?
10:11The play's still alive.
10:13Now it's blocked to safety.
10:16Merk feels he was fouled.
10:18But was he onside when the shot came in from Kikin?
10:20I think he was just off.
10:251-0.
10:26United Arab Emirates have the advantage at the halfway mark.
10:29There's two of them waiting to take it.
10:38For the UAE, it will be Marcus Meloni.
10:41Sends it in.
10:42And Kayo Kanedo gets the final touch.
10:44It ricochets off the number 11.
10:47And away wide.
10:48Kikin whips in the cross.
10:53It's curling into the middle.
10:54And it might fall for somebody.
10:56Kojo.
10:57Merk's in there too.
10:58And it has to be cleared away for a corner.
11:01Kojo and Merk both in good positions in the box.
11:06Hari Babdala.
11:07Down the middle for the UAE.
11:09Still going.
11:10Hari Babdala gets the shot away.
11:13Tokutayev simply able to get behind it.
11:18Down the right.
11:19A bit of room for Kyrgyz Republic.
11:21The shot comes in.
11:23Not accurate enough.
11:25Mishchenko headed it on towards Atabaev.
11:28But he couldn't find the right finish.
11:31Another Kyrgyz chance.
11:32Coming down this right-hand side.
11:34The delivery sent in.
11:35It's headed away but not too far away.
11:38Once more into the middle for Uzdenov.
11:41And Kojo with the secondary header.
11:44Ali Kasaif making the grab to keep that one out.
11:47They scored very late in the last game.
11:49Kyrgyz Republic.
11:50And they're not giving up on snatching a point here.
11:53It's rolled back to Gilles Galbeck.
11:55He'll send it into the middle.
11:57And Kai Merk finds the finish.
12:00Kyrgyz Republic do it again.
12:03It's a late, late leveller in Bishkek.
12:06They had good value for that equaliser too.
12:08They just kept on believing.
12:11Third place secured regardless for the UAE.
12:14They can go into the next group stage full of confidence that they can still claim a ticket to the World Cup.
12:19For the Kyrgyz Republic, it's the end of the road.
12:21It's finished with a dramatic 1-1 draw.
12:23Kyrgyz Republic do it again.
12:36Voilà pas grand chose à ajouter sur ce groupe A.
12:39L'Iran assure la première place grâce à une victoire 3-0 contre la Corée du Nord.
12:43L'Ouzbékistan fait de même face au Qatar.
12:45Et dans le dernier match, le Kyrgyzstan y a cru jusqu'au bout et a réussi à égaliser à la 95ème minute contre les Emirats Arabes Unis.
12:52Iran-Ouzbékistan qualifié, Emirats Arabes Unis-Qatar barragiste, Kyrgyzstan-Corée du Nord éliminé.
12:57Et on souhaite bon courage à l'équipe de Corée du Nord, dernière du classement, pour son retour au pays de Kim Jong-un.
