FIFA WC 2022: Iran win by by 2-0 over Wales

For ninety minutes of regulation time and seven minutes of stoppage time, there were no goals. And then there were two. Iran scored twice in the space of three additional minutes to notch up a 2-0 victory against Wales in their FIFA World Cup Group B clash at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan on Friday. Substitute Rouzbeh Cheshmi and right-back Ramin Rezaeian found the net for the Iranians. The game would have perhaps ended goalless if



not for Welsh goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey’s sending-off in the 86th minute.

“It’s just the beginning, we need to finish the job. It was a wonderful day for us — we (stuck) to football, and I don’t have words to say thank you to the players. They were brilliant, they deserve all the respect. People will understand that these boys love to play football,” Iran coach Carlos Queiroz told reporters after the game.
