<Reporter> At
Azadi Stadium in Tehran, which is called the grave of the away team, the national team survived the first half without conceding thanks to goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu's save.
Iran's representative goalkeepers Azmoon and Taremi threatened our goal with a series of shots, but Kim Seung-gyu blew them away one after another.
And in the third minute of the second half, captain Son Heung-min finally broke through the Iran goal.
He dug into the opponent's back space in an instant, and after receiving the ball stabbed by Lee Jae-sung, he split the net with a right-footed shot.
The roar of Son Heung-min, who scored two goals in a row following the winning goal against Syria, echoed in the stadium.
But the joy did not last long.
The national team, who struggled with Iran's strong counterattack, eventually conceded the equalizer to Jahanbachsi in the 31st minute of the second half.
Azmun did not give up until the end and Jahanbachsi finished the ball with his head.
Coach Bento strengthened the attack by adding Lee Dong-kyung and Na Sang-ho at the same time, but Na Sang-ho's shot was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper's save during extra time, and the match ended 1-1.
Bentuho missed their first win at Tehran, but continued their unbeaten streak with 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 points behind leader Iran, maintaining second place.
The national team will be convened again ahead of a home match against the UAE next month.
