Local reports say the Iranians dominated the match but didn’t have enough firepower upfront to trouble Olyroo keeper Danny Vukovic and his well-drilled defence.

Iran's best chance was after seven minutes when Oladi had sent Milad Meydavoudi through on goal, but the forward was denied by Aussie keeper Vukovic in a one-on-one situation.
The Aussies had three players yellow carded: Nathan Burns, Lee Broxham and Ben Griffin.

Iran and Australia are grouped with Saudi Arabia and Jordan in Group D in the second phase of Olympic qualification. The top-two of each group will advance to final stage of the qualification.
