Match report

TEHRAN - Saudi Arabia launched a stunning late fightback to beat Iran 2-1 on Saturday and revive their 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ qualifying hopes.

Trailing 1-0 with 12 minutes left, the Saudis turned the game around with goals from Naif Hazazi and Osama al-Harbi to move third in Group 2 with seven points from five games. Masoud Shojaei's impressive 57th-minute strike looked to have set Iran on course for victory, but this shock defeat left them fourth in the group on six points. Korea DPR lead on 10, followed by Korea Republic, who have played one less game, on eight.

Faced with missing out on the finals for the first time in 20 years, the Saudis, under new coach Jose Peseiro, blocked out the deafening roars of the imposing Azadi stadium and attacked the Iranians from the start. Hazazi had what appeared to be a legitimate headed goal disallowed on 36 minutes and Nassir al-Shamra had a penalty appeal waved away after being brought down in the area six minutes later.

Iran had a clear cut chance to score seven minutes after the break when Limaki Mohamma hesitated in front of goal and saw his close-range effort blocked. Mohamma turned provider five minutes later when he passed across the area to Shojaei, who fired a powerful shot into the top corner to give Iran the lead.

The Saudis silenced the crowd 12 minutes from time when Hazazi latched on to a neat through ball and coolly slotted home from seven metres. Playing without suspended striker Yasser al-Qahtani, the Saudis then grabbed the winner with four minutes remaining when Al-Harbi leapt high in the air to head home Abdoh Autef's dangerous corner.

The top two teams in the group qualify automatically, with the third placed team able to advance via two play-off matches.
