A heroic match for Iran, in which the Welsh side are defeated

The Iranian national team defeated Wales, 2-0, in the second round of Group B competitions of the 2022 World Cup.

The first half was unbalanced by both sides, with few chances on the two goals. In the 12th minute, a chance for the Welsh international side came with Moore tackling on target, but Iranian goalkeeper Hussein Hosseini was good at deflect his ball.

The Iranian national team scored a goal in the 15th minute through Ali Gholizadeh, but it was disallowed via video technology.

The Iranian team started the second half strong and almost scored the opener with two balls in the 51st minute, when Sardar Azmoun struck first, but his ball hit the left post, returning to Gholizadeh, who hit the post right.

The Iranian national team continued their attacks and overcame their opponent and were able to score again in the 72nd minute, but Saeed Ezzatullahi’s shot was cleared by Welsh goalkeeper Wayne Hennessier.

There was an 83rd-minute scoring opportunity for Wales, but Ben Davies’ powerful strike was brilliantly saved by the Iranian goalkeeper.

Welsh goalkeeper Hennessier was given a red card after switching back to video technology in the 86th minute, following a heavy foul on Mahdi Tarmi outside the penalty area.

Iranian international player Mahdi Turabi hit an 88th-minute ball that went close to the left post.

But in the final seconds of the calculated half, instead of injury, Roozbeh Chishmi scored the opener for Iran, and then moments later, Ramin Rezaian scored the second goal.

This is the first victory for Iran in its history against a European team at the World Cup after 9 matches.

These are the first 3 points for the Iranian national team in the current World Cup after losing their opening match against England 6-2, while the Welsh national team kept a point after a 1-1 draw in their opening match against the US national team squad.
