Tehran, IRNA – In its 3rd game in the group stages, which was held versus the United States, Iran lost the game 1-0, and the chance to go to the next round of the 2022 World Cup.

The Iranian national team, led by their Portuguese Head Coach Carlos Queiroz, played full defense during the first half of the game, in which the American players had several chances to score their first goal, and luckily just received one.

Their efforts to make up for that goal and their offensive play in the second half led nowhere and thus England and the United States advanced from Group B and Iran and Wales were eliminated.
