World Cup 2018: Morocco 0-1 Iran
on: June 15, 2018, 06:35:29 PM



Nick Miller is at the St Petersburg Stadium for the Guardian and was no doubt effing and jeffing to beat the band when Iran bagged their late, late winner. Here’s his on-the-whistle report.

It’s all over and ... somehow, Iran have won their first World Cup match since 1998. Their winner came deep into added time and was a gift. Under no pressure of any kind, Morocco substitute Aziz Bouhaddouz put an unstoppable near post header past his own goalkeeper while attempting to defend a free-kick that was needlessly given away by another substitute, Nordin Amrabat.

Morocco gifted Iran that winner long after their opponents had shut up shop and clearly settled for the draw. Both sides will be sitting in their dressing rooms in a state of shocked disbelief; Morocco wondering how they lost a game they dominated for long periods and Iran wondering how they won a game in which they were dominated for long periods.

The substitute Bouhaddouz scores past his own goalkeeper with a near post header as he attempts to defend the free-kick taken by Ehsan Hajsafi. That is a horror show! The ball was crossed, there was nobody in an Iran shirt near him and for reasons best known to himself, he sends a bullet header past his own goalkeeper.

Jeff! Iran score in the knockings! It’s an own-goal!!!

Amrabat 2.0 concedes a free-kick in a dangerous position on the left, between the left side of the penalty area and the touchline.

There’s a bit of a skirmish on the touchline, where Herve Renard and Carlos Queiroz get in a bit of a set-to. Renard’s coaching staff drag him away from the Iran manager, he calms down and offers Quiroz a handshake ... which is accepted. Meanwhile back on the pitch, Iran’s Karim Ansarifard’ has been booked for something or other.
