After winning all three of their group matches, the Maroons cantered into the knockout stages, where they beat Palestine in the round of 16, before seeing off Uzbekistan 3-2 on penalties in the last eight and defeating Iran 3-2 in a mouthwatering clash. The hosts will give their all to retain their continental title for sure.
