Asia's group A leaders Iran have been held to a scoreless draw by hosts Syria at a drenched Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium in Malaysia in their FIFA 2018 World Cup qualifier!
The wet conditions on Tuesday not only delayed the kick-off for 45 minutes, but made playing conditions very difficult for both teams.
Iran had better scoring chances, but they were just unable to find the net. Team Melli now top group A with 11 points from the first 5 matches while Syria are 4th on 5 points.
