To make matters worse, the goalkeeper of the Iranian team, Beranwand, was injured and left the field due to a collision with his teammates during the attack. As a result, the team was forced to make substitutions and the game was interrupted for 14 minutes.

　　The England team then aggressively attacked. In the first half, Bellingham, Saka, and Sterling scored three goals in a row, which made the game lose suspense early.

　　Changing sides to fight again, the England team's offensive continued unabated. Saka and Rashford scored two goals in a row to rewrite the score to 5:0.

Subsequently, the head of the Iranian team, Mehdi Taremi, took advantage of the opponent's defensive loopholes to get back a goal.

But soon, England once again used a quick counterattack and Grealish scored a goal.

Near the end, the Iranian team got a penalty kick. Mehdi Taremi made a penalty kick and finally fixed the score at 6:2. England won its first victory in the group stage as it wished.

　　According to the schedule, the England team will face the US team in the second round, while the Iranian team will face the challenge of the Welsh team.
