Well worked goal by Iran. Except there's an offside. Lucky, lucky Wales.
Done the job thank you
Wales so, so lucky again. Iran hit the post twice in 20 seconds from 2 brilliant efforts.
Nothing better than having a corporate logo printed on your jersey.
Wales look fúcked.
What a save there by Hennessy
Wales are all over the shop
Wales deserve nothing from this match. Hennessy made a big save to deny Iran the lead. I wouldn't mind seeing Iran get a late penalty to win if they need it. Like Bale did for Wales in their draw against USA. Wales have no chance against England, if they play like this.
"Joe Allen hasn't played since September. And they've been very careful to get him back... to... his... level." 🤣
Haha I heard that on fox, lol
Possible red card coming up for Hennessy. He took the Iranian player right out of it.
Hennessy not getting a red for that?
The ref initially gave yellow. Has to be red though. It was wreckless and dangerous play. Even if there was some cover.
And it is red now after VAR told him to look at the monitor.
Has to be red. Highly dangerous and wreckless.
Definitely Red.
Almost beheaded the Iranian. Which is ironic.
Surely that's a red. I don't care if there's a defender covering. If that was a last defender with the keeper covering it would be a red. So why is the reverse situation not a red?
Hennessy's challenge:
Gone now that was like what German Goalie Schumacher did years ago. Hennessy went in flying high foot
spot on there ,
Iran unlucky again, shot just past the top right hand corner.
That's what it reminded me of as well.
I found it here. Harold Schumacher v Battiston - 1982 WC
Wow what a finish. It's deserved you'd have to say.
Yessssss!
Gowan Iran ya boy ya!
It looks like Iran have won it. Brilliant finish in the bottom right hand corner.
Deserved that.
There'll be no protestor killed in Tehran tonight!
No more than Iran deserve. They've been as good as Wales have been so abject.
Cracker of a strike.
Great results for the US… beat Iran and they should be through.
Well deserved Iran !!
