Ahead of the game against Iran and Wales yesterday, the outside of the stadium was chaotic.



Iranian fans were divided into pro-government and anti-government factions and fought a war of words, and fans who shouted for women's rights were interrupted from interviews with foreign media.



[This person has no right to do this to me.

(Iran!) Could you please stay away from me?

(Islamic Republic of Iran!)]



After refusing to sing the national anthem in the first game, the Iranian players, who were defeated by England, sang along with the national anthem as usual in the second game. .



Iran, who suffered from 'goal bad luck' twice at the beginning of the second half and struggled, wrote a drama just before the end.



After the Welsh goalkeeper was sent off for a reckless foul, Chesimi roared with a devastating final mid-range shot in the extra eight minutes of the second half, and two minutes later, Rezaian sealed a 2-0 win with a superb chip shot.



Iranian ace Azmoun could not contain his joy and strangled coach Queiros, pinched his cheek, and cheered wildly.



[Keiros/Iranian soccer team coach: It was a great day.

I was able to focus on soccer.

Athletes deserve cheering.

The victory was dedicated to the fans.]



In downtown Tehran, where anti-government protests continued, shouts of unification resounded through soccer.



On the 30th, Iran will play a fateful bout with the United States, a political rival, with a ticket to the Round of 16.
