The second game involving an African team ended in the same fashion; Morocco were beaten by Iran in the closing stages of the game in a high-tempo fairly balanced game.

Morocco looked set to earn a point for their hard work until an own goal from substitute Aziz Bouhaddouz in stoppage time handed a win to Iran, who had not won a World Cup game since their victory over the United States in 1998.

After the final whistle, there was a spontaneous wild celebration from the Iranians, as though they had won the tournament.

Morocco did not make their possession throughout the game count and now they possibly might be heading out of the tournament as they face ‘almighty’ Spain and Portugal in their next two games.
