Langerak rues ‘two points dropped’ in Tehran

Socceroos keeper Mitch Langerak felt Australia dropped two points after scrapping with Iraq in a 1-1 draw in Tehran on Thursday.

On a bumpy pitch in cold and wet conditions at the PAS Stadium in Tehran, Iraq’s late equaliser was some reward for the tenacious Iraqis.

But Langerak, arguably Australia’s best performer on the day, was still bitterly disappointed despite pulling off a couple of key saves to keep Australia in the Group B World Cup qualifier.

This was the Caltex Socceroos' fourth draw on the trot.

NO EXCUSES

“It was a difficult game for us, in these conditions it didn’t make things easier,” the German-based keeper told Fox Sports.
