Alireza Jahanbakhsh vowed Iran would push to complete their quest for a place at next year's World Cup at the earliest opportunity after netting his nation's equaliser against South Korea in qualifying for Qatar 2022 in Tehran on Tuesday .

The result means the Iranians lose their perfect record following three straight wins but Dragan Skocic's side remain two points clear of the Koreans on top of the standings."We played really well in the second half, but the shots didn't go in. But, thank god, it's still one point, we're still top of the group.

Son struck three minutes into the second half with a trademark finish on the break before Jahanbakhsh powered a perfectly placed header into the bottom corner 14 minutes from time to earn the hosts a point.
