“Syria earned a vital 3-1 win against Qatar to keep alive their hopes of qualifying for a first ever World Cup.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Omar Kharbin scored in each half and Mahmoud Al-Mawas added a third in injury time as Syria moved above Uzbekistan into third in their group.<\/p>\n

The top two teams qualify automatically for the 2018 World Cup in Russia while the third-placed side face a play-off.<\/p>\n

Defeat for Qatar means they cannot qualify and will make their World Cup debut as the host nation in 2022.<\/p>\n

Syria play group winners Iran in Tehran in their final group match on Tuesday and will be guaranteed a two-legged play-off against the third-place team in Group B with victory.<\/p>\n

But they could yet finish second and qualify directly for next year’s tournament depending on the result of the match between South Korea and Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n

South Korea could only manage a goalless draw against 10-man Iran on Thursday and defeat in their final match could see them fail to qualify for the finals for the first time since 1982 should Syria beat Iran.<\/p>\n

China could also still take third place and a play-off spot if they beat Qatar in Doha on Tuesday and other results go their way.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Group B, Japan beat Australia to qualify for their sixth successive World Cup.”<\/p>\n
