At present, South Korea's points have reached 20 points, 11 points ahead of the UAE. Even if the latter can beat the powerful Iran, South Korea will still maintain an eight-point lead.

The significance of this game has also been lost.
In the current Group A, the only suspense is the battle for the third place. However, the third place will have to compete with the third place in group B for a play-off place. Judging from the current situation of the two groups, it is difficult for the third group of A to win the third place of group B.
