FT: Egypt 1-2 Iran

It’s full-time in Seattle, chaos at the end, but Iran are forced to settle for a point, as they remain unbeaten and should still advance as a third-place team.

Egypt are fortunate and move forward to a last 32 tie with Australia.

While Belgium’s 4-1 win over New Zealand sees them top the group.

GOAL RULED OUT! Egypt 1-2 Iran

90+3 mins: It was ruled out by VAR, offside and heartbreak for Iran, with Khalilzadeh’s wild celebration in vain.

GOAL! Egypt 1-2 Iran (Khalilzadeh)

90+3 mins: It’s bedlam in Seattle, Iran have won it! Khalilzadeh sweeps home, Egypt a shambles.

Iran made a mess of it too, Ghorbani should have scored initially, before the loose ball dropped to Khalilzadeh after Shobeir spilt it.

Egypt 1-1 Iran

Taremi rises high at the corner, he gets there first and heads onto the bar!

A foul is given on Shobeir, but VAR would have reversed that and given a goal if Taremi had finished, very fortunate for Egypt.

84 mins: Scrap that last post, Belgium are 4-1 up, Lukaku has his goal, now the Red Devils are top again, this time on +3, Egypt on +2…

Egypt 1-1 Iran

83 mins: Egypt back top! They’ve scored more goals, and New Zealand have pulled a crucial goal back against Belgium, trailing 3-1, but it enables the Pharaohs to go back up with more goals on +2 GD.

Lasheen pinches the ball and then unleashes a strike, but it’s dragged wide of the near post.

Egypt 1-1 Iran

78 mins: Egypt are dangerous on the break with Marmoush using his pace.

Iran pushing for that winner now an taking risks. Rezaeian was too strong for Ashour there and looking to be direct in transition.

Egypt 1-1 Iran

70 mins: Marmoush with a blast from the edge of the area and he looks especially dangerous.

It’s slashed wide after a deflection, but Iran are giving him too much area.

Egypt 1-1 Iran

65 mins: Kevin De Bruyne has Belgium 3-0 up in the other game against New Zealand, it’s been shown up on the big screen, crunch time!

Egypt know they have to win now or suffer a tougher path.

Marmoush has been lively and without Salah, the City forward will need to bring the cutting edge.
