Title: WORLD CUP – IRAN & MORROCO

Text:

Iran are unbeaten in competitive matches since the last World Cup

Morocco sturdy defense is run by the impressive Medhi Benattia of Juventus

wolves fans will be used to see Romain SAISS certainly in the midfield

but he's very much a centre-back I mean parrot of the creative wide men

Iran were the first team in Asia to qualify, only four of their starting play in Iran

and here we go they affectionately call this stadium the spaceship

and it's a decent effort as well half chance on the edge of the area for Amin Harit

in the corner it's in towards Zaya he missed it as an air kick

Amarbat tried to valley it up

three or four are making running into the center

this is Hamarbat and the near post header is narrowly wide

It’s Belhanda who got in there too easy to get out wide

as his head shaft, very awkward head to hit that target

and forward once again it's nice back towards Elkabi

and it's another chance for Morocco and they’re knocking at the door

and that’s another great shot Zayech

oh it’s bobbling Azemon Bill Handa comes back to Benatia that’s blocked too

and somehow Morocco can’t find a way to possibly

on the run Ansarifard can't make it

now it’s back to Bell Handa he'll strike from distance and its straying to Cheshmi once again

he is Harit oh lovely run decent effort to Amine Harit

went into position as it moves at the back post

It’s given to Cheshmi, Cheshmi just controlled it with his shoulder

Jahanbakhsh with and effort which is miles over never testing the goal keeper

Belhanda is looking for Elkaabi it’s back on the edge of the penalty area

in space here this is Azmoon a chance to go through all the way

it's Sardar Azmoon he comes back towards the edge of the penalty area and Jahanbahkhsh shot

that's some shot

Hosted up a second attempt and there is

the half-time whistle Morocco nil Iran nil

turning producing another cross underneath it is Harit misfired

Jahanbakhsh trying to get better of Alhakimi has got the better of Alhakimi

and then two others came to his rescue including Saiys

it’s strange the way they defend very strange

still going comes back towards the edge of the area

that’s a really good chance they should do a Very decent header as well

flexing on the way through

Hados to Ziyaesh smash it into the body of the defender

Hajsafi with the delivery ending towards the near past they're gonna win right now

substitute Redi Torami has scored the goal
