Egypt vs. Iran Live Updates, Score: Latest World Cup News and Goals
It was a devastating ending for Iran, which came so close to a late winner that would have secured qualification for the first time in its history. Instead, it drew Egypt 1-1.
Both goals came early, with Egypt taking the initial lead and Iran missing a penalty before equalizing right after, all within the first 15 minutes.
Iran needed a win here to secure qualification. The point keeps Iran alive, but now it needs outside help in tomorrow’s fixtures, or its World Cup will be over.
For Egypt, it had a chance to win the group with all three points after Belgium defeated New Zealand 5-1, but it could not get that win. Still, hanging on to the point was crucial, because Egypt now goes through as a second-place team instead of a third-place team, which would have sent it into a matchup against a group winner.
