- 90'+12'That's all for today, goodbye.
- 90'+12'Next up, Iran face the USA in their final match in Group B, with Wales up against England.
- 90'+12'Iran scored twice in stoppage time to beat 10-man Wales and keep their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stage of the World Cup alive. Wales’s best chance of the game came early on when Moore’s poked effort was pushed away by Hosseini. After that, it was Iran who dominated. Gholizadeh had a first half goal disallowed for offside before an onslaught after the break. Going close, Azmoun and Gholizadeh crashed the post within nine seconds of each other before Wales went down to 10. Bundling into Taremi outside the box, Hennessey was given a yellow card before a VAR check upgraded it to a red. From then, Iran pushed the Welsh defence and broke the deadlock in the 98th-minute. It came through substitute Cheshmi, who drilled the ball into the bottom corner from outside the box. With Page’s side committing men forward, Iran doubled their advantage three minutes later. Taremi squared the ball to Rezaeian on the edge, who dinked it over Ward.
- 90'+12'FULL-TIME: WALES 0-2 IRAN
- 90'+11'Taremi is patient. Allen couldn't control the ball, with Taremi jogging forward. The Porto striker could have gone alone, but he waited for Rezaeian who finished the chance with composure.
- 90'+11'GOAALLLL! GAME OVER! 2-0 IRAN! One goal behind, Wales get caught on the counter. Taremi moves forward with the ball, waiting for support. Rezaeian rushes up from right-back to the outskirts of the box, chipping it over Ward and into the goal.
- 90'+8'GOAAALLLLLLL! WHAT A STRIKE FROM CHESHMI! 1-0 IRAN! That may be the winner! From outside the box, Cheshmi lashes the ball into the bottom corner, after Allen's poked clearance rolled to his feet.
- 90'+7'Bale complains. He thinks he has been fouled deep inside the Wales half, but a throw-in has been given to Iran.
- 90'+5'Jahanbakhsh now gets a yellow card after a high boot. He apologises immediately.
- 90'+4'Rezaeian receives a yellow card after complaining to the referee. Ward was taking his time with a goal-kick.
