Syria look to spring another last 16 surprise on Iran
January 30 – Syria will rely on their own strengths and philosophy against Iran in the round of 16, said manager Hector Cuper on the eve of their second-round encounter.
For the first time in history, the Syrians will feature in the last 16 of the tournament after finishing third in Group B behind both Australia and Uzbekistan.
They now take on three-time champions Iran, who were one of just two teams to maintain a perfect record in the group stages.
