PLDC - Beirut, The Iran captain says that Team Melli will not repeat their last match in Lebanon, and will defeat The Cedars this time.


Nekounam said, "Our match against Lebanon can be the deciding match for our qualification to Asian Cup 2015. We respect Lebanon and know that they have high ambitions, but we are going after three points. We achieved a good result in Thailand, and I hope we can book our spot in Asian cup by defeating Lebanon."
