Reaction from Iran coach Carlos Queiroz:
“Two points. We played today with amazing character, which is the profile of our team. We play with a sense of unity, cohesion. After the first game we need to get back on route.
“The second point was to get rid of this bad feeling of bleeding. Football is a game of different moments. It’s not because you win or lose.
“Sometimes you lose your dignity, your honour, but of course in our first game we were bleeding in our pride. This was an opportunity to rebound. We put a good scarf [bandage] to stop the bleeding.
“We played brilliantly and deserved to win.”
