Asia Cup: Tournament favourites Iran, managed by Carlos Queiroz, brushed aside Marcello Lippi’s China 3-0 to set up today’s first semi-final of the Asian Cup against Japan, who had earlier edged out Vietnam 1-0. 

Hosts UAE surprisingly beat holders Australia 1-0 to seal their spot in the last four against Qatar, who stunned South Korea by the same score thanks to Abdulaziz Hatem’s 78th minute long-range strike. 

Scotland: Ross County still lead the Championship by three points after they saw off Alloa 2-0 and second-placed Ayr had edged out Dundee United 1-0.
