Summary of Iran : 3 points – 3rd place
The Iranians had an unfortunate performance in this Iran vs USA match. Although they stood up very well in the first minutes, played hand in hand and without fear against one of the most favored teams in their group, they could not materialize the chances they had until the last minutes of the game.
Carlos Queiroz’s side had a good attacking approach from the start of the match, but the talent, or perhaps in this case the luck of a Pulisic who found himself on the ball, robbed them of the chance to advance to the Round of 16.
Iran lineup (4-3-3): Alireza Beiranvard; Ramin Rezaeian, Majid Hosseini, Morteza Pouraliganji, Milad Mohammadi; Ahmad Nourollahi, Saeid Ezatolahi, Ehsan Hajsafi; Mehdi Taremi, Sardar Azmoun, Ali Gholizadeh.
