AFC Champions League
The Islamic Republic of Iran side looked to have the points in the bag after goals from Mohammad Daneshgar and Mohammad Ghorbani overturned Ali Jasim's opener. The 19-year-old, however, struck again in the 89th minute for the Iraqi side to deny Sepahan the win.
Morais said it was a pity his team could not see out the match at the Franso Hariri Stadium in Erbil.
"I did not expect this from the match beforehand. Air Force Club are a good team and had good players.
"We were ready for the match, but because they hadn’t played in the league yet, we didn't know much about them, but they knew a lot about our team because we had played a few matches," said Morais.

Morais said Sepahan must learn to better manage their game if they are to advance to the knockout stage.
"In my opinion, we should have managed the difficult situations we faced better, but the players gave their best.
"We were able to control the game most of the time; It's a pity that we conceded a goal, even though we were in control.”
Sepahan next play Al Ittihad on October 2. The Saudi Arabia side kicked off their campaign with a 3-0 win over Uzbekistan's AGMK FC on Monday.
