The Iranian national football team in a friendly match with the Russian team had many scoring chances and could achieve an easy victory, according to Iranian striker Mehdi Taremi.
Iran-Russia meeting was held on Thursday in Tehran and ended with the score 1:1. Taremi scored the equalizer in the 47th minute.
— It was a good game. We had many chances, we could easily win the game. But the situation was not like that. After our goal, the team felt positive energy. We performed well.
In any case, there are newcomers in the team and it will take time to adapt,” Taremi Jamaran quotes.
On Sunday, the Russian national team will play its first home match in a year and a half – in St. Petersburg, the Russians will meet with the Iraqi national team. Watch the live broadcast from 17:00 Moscow time on Match TV and matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
