MANAMA (Bahrain): Coach Oscar Cano on Friday lauded the performance of his side, saying Qatar played 'brave' football in their"1-1 draw against Iran in the AFC U-19 Asian Cup Group C match. The first game at any event is dangerous. You don't know what to expect," Cano said."But I would say the team played brave football. They were the better side," he said."Iran got the equaliser from a good attack. But I feel it is important not to lose the first game at any tournament," he said."I am proud of my team. We can qualify for the next stage. We will focus on the second game now," he said. Qatar play Yemen (October 17) and then Japan (October 20) in their remaining preliminary stage fixtures."We are looking forward to the next games," he said."Japan is a good side but we are well prepared," Cano said."This is a strong group. We must be at our best in the next two games," he said. Iran coach Amir Husain said,"We made some mistakes in the first half. We corrected those mistakes in the second half. I think the players have been impacted by warm weather." About Qatar, he said,"Qatar played good. It was an exciting match."
