HT Iran 1 - 0 Iraq
chronological comments
#11 Iraqi player got a yellow
some drama with a collision between Beiranvand and Iraqi player, but amiably resolved with no cards
Ezza with a stupid and dangerous giveaway, but wins it back a few Iraqi passes later.
Azmoun goal but WAY offside
~28 min Iran gets very close to a goal, but it comes to nothing
31mins water break, I hope Taremi is not seriously hurt...
Azmoun goal! 10 mins to go in regular time. Seconds before I was thinking how important it would be for Irtan to score before HT.
39+mins: Iran just endlessly passing the ball around in midfield.
40mins. And almost gets punished. Iraq close to a dangerous goal opportunity.
~41 Jahanbaksh gets a yellow (not sure if legit)
44:22 Iraq shot on goal. But harmless into the hands of Beiro.
2mins extra time
46:50 Great job Iran winning the back the ball
HT, Iran in possession
Lots of fouls on both sides, Iran leads by a goal. So far so good. Iran has plenty of jokers left on the bench. Let's see what the second half brings.
2nd half:
no changes for Iran (Janabaksh with yellow still on!)
46:20 Iraq almost scores
Right after yellow card for Iraqi #4 (Hatiq) for stopping Iranian counter
around 52-53mins Sadegh Moharrami gets a very questionable yellow for kicking ball away
Several similar 'severity' Iraqi fouls earlier and later were not carded
58+ 2 consecutive corners for Iraq come to nothing
59mins Iraqi substitution #9 for 18
~60mins Beiranvand jumps for an catches Iraqi cross
shortly after Iraq again gets close to Irans goal, harmless, but Iran needs to be more alert
61:50 Ezzatolahi fouls Iraqi player close to Irans goal. Dangerous freekick location. Direct free kick goes over.
64 Hajsafi with a pretty decent mid-range but slightly too long cross into the box. Iran player ? can't quite reach it.
69mins Iran finally subs Ezza and Hajsafi off,
Sarlak and mimo in (11 and 5)
70:30 Iraq fouls Iran #15, game stopped
72:28 Azmoun misses big goal chance after good cross from Taremi
77:33 ok here come Gaedi for Azmoun and Ghoddos for Jahanbash. Good subs.
79 Goli free shot very close to goal directly into the Iraqi keepers arms
80 Iraq shot on goal. Bereinvand chests it down. lol. (safe!)
81:15 Taremi gets deserved yellow.
7 mins to go. Unless Irq scores 2 goals and Iran none, Iran is through to the 3rd round.
Iran has two consecutive attempts on goal on target but both a weak shots and easily saved.
89 mins Milad? throw in goes over the goal line. LOL.
close to 90mins taremi strange defense move. Just kick the damn ball out man!
92:29 Rezai comes on Goli.
93:12 Freekick for Iran close to Iraq's goal
95: Gaedi misses open goal presented to him on a platter.
FT
Iran wins 1:0 and is through to the 3rd round!
YES!!!
