On Friday, November 25, the program of the 2nd round of the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar started with a duel at the Ahmad bin Ali stadium in Er Rayyan.
World Cup 2022. Group B. 2nd round
Wales - Iran - 0:2
Goals: Cheshmi (90+8), Rezaeyan (90+11).
In the 87th minute, Hennessy (Wales) was withdrawn.
If Gareth Bale and the company, who did not let Ukraine into the World Cup, at the start of the 2022 World Cup managed to avoid defeat in the match against the United States (1:1), then the Iranians were mercilessly beaten by the British, the founders of football (6:2). And it is clear that a defeat in a face-to-face meeting would significantly reduce the chances of opponents to leave the group.
The Iranian team played more actively and sharper than the British (suffice it to recall two hits on the Welsh goal post in one minute!), but it seemed that they would not be able to finish the opponent even after goalkeeper Henness received a direct red card from the British in the 87th minute (first withdrawal from the field at the 2022 World Cup). And yet, in the 90+8th minute, Cheshmi hit the gates of the British reserve goalkeeper, and in the 90+11th minute, Rezaeyan put a winning point in the match.
By the way, the Wales team played only five matches in the group stage in the final stages of the world championships and used to always draw (before that there were three peaceful results in the 1958 World Cup group). Only a few minutes were not enough for the Welsh before the fifth world war.
Command positions: 1. England - 3 points (1 match); 2. Iran - 3 (2); 3. USA - 1 (1); 4. Wales - 1 (2).
In another duel in quartet B on November 25, England and the USA will play (beginning at 21:00).
Earlier reported that Brazil with the handsome goal of Richarlison won Serbia at the 2022 World Cup.
