Japan and Iran are the last two teams through to the quarter finals of the AFC Asian Cup quarter finals after two contrasting performances.
Japan cruised past Bahrain 3-1, while Iran was made to fight by Syria, eventually prevailing 5-3 on penalties.
Former Syrian international Aatef Jenyat joins us from Souq Waqif to review all the action and talk about his own career playing for Al Karamah and the Syrian national team.
PLUS… we also hear from Iran’s Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Mehdi Taremi, as well as Japan superstar Takefusa Kubo.
