Two goals in quick succession deep into added time have given Iran their first win at the World Cup, defeating a spirited Wales team that ended the game with 10 men, Aljazeera reported. Wales dominated the possession throughout Friday’s match, and the first half had been a closely contested affair as both sets of fans passionately urged on their teams. Iran were the better team and unlucky when Sardar Azmoun and Ali Gholizadeh hit the right and left post within a few seconds shortly after the restart, while Wales’ best opportunity came early from Kieffer Moore and late from Ben Davies. Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey was given his marching orders in the 86th minute after bringing down Mehdi Taremi outside the box. There can be no complaints after VAR showed the collision multiple times, forcing the referee to reverse his earlier decision to brandish a yellow card. A thumping long-range effort by Roozbeh Cheshmi sent Iranian fans screaming inside Ahmad bin Ali Stadium eight minutes into the second-half injury time. It was as clean a strike as you can get, as it sailed past multiple defenders and nestled in the bottom of the net. Wales players dropped to their knees in shock.
