Esteghlal striker Milad Midavoodi opened the scoring for Iran in the 17th minute only for Osama Hadid and Yaqoob Abdul Karim to turn the tie in Oman’s favour with goals in the 40th and 44th minutes respectively.
Oman were handed the numerical advantage two minutes into the second half when Mohammad Nori was red carded but despite playing with a man less it was Iran that were next to score, with Andranik Teymourian netting Iran’s equaliser in the 53rd minute.
