Goal.com -- Team Melli had been cruising at 2-0 but were more than relieved to hear the final whistle at the Azadi Stadium as the visitors hit back and almost snatched a point in the Asian World Cup qualifying match on Wednesday. The Koreans are famed throughout Asia for a tight defence but it was breached after just nine minutes as Mahdavikia headed home. Iran continued their good start and were on top for the rest of the half, although North Korea looked threatening at times.  Now four teams have four points in Group Two, although North Korea have played a game more than Iran, Saudi Arabia and South Korea >>>
