Tasnim � Iran national football team coach Carlos Queiroz says they need to play with a killer instinct against their rivals.

Iran booked a place in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup quarter-finals thanks to a 2-0 win over Oman at the competition�s Round of 16.

Title-chasing Iran survived a first-minute penalty in a chaotic start.

Team Melli goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand saved from the spot before goals from Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Ashkan Dejagah in Abu Dhabi sent Iran through to face China.

�It�s the first time in my life one team has conceded a penalty in the first minute,� Queiroz told AFP.

�We need to play with a killer instinct. It�s important to kill the game when you have the opportunity,� added the former Real Madrid boss.

�Football is a hell of a job for players and coaches to be honest with you,� Queiroz stated.
