At 23: 00 on June 20th18th and15th, Beijing time, the first group match of Group B of the World Cup in Russia officially started. The two sides are Morocco and Iran. Finally, Morocco gave Iran an own goal in stoppage time, so Iran 1-0 defeated Morocco and won the initiative to qualify for the group.
In the 4th minute of the game, Morocco made a cross from the right, Berhanda headed the ball higher than the crossbar, and Morocco missed the opportunity to score. In the 9 th minute of the game, Kabi shot angrily after getting the ball near the restricted area line. Unfortunately, football slipped by, and Morocco wasted two excellent goals in just ten minutes. Competition 18 minutes, Morocco launched another onslaught, and there was a scuffle in Iran's restricted area. Benatia shot after getting the ball in the crowd, but the football was blocked. In the 30 th minute of the game, Moroccan player Ali's push in the penalty area was confiscated by the Iranian goalkeeper again.
Of course, Iran, as the overlord of Asia, also has a temper. They also took advantage of the opportunity to control the ball in the frontcourt, posing a great threat to Morocco. In the 43rd minute of the match, Iran won the single-handed ball. In a counterattack, Azmun took the ball to the back of the penalty area and shot at the goalkeeper, but the Moroccan goalkeeper shut the ball out with his foot.
It's easy to change sides and fight again in the second half. As the game goes on, the movements of both sides are getting bigger and bigger. In the 62nd minute of the game, Shojae and Berhanda had a slight conflict in a fight, and their eyes glared at each other. The referee quickly separated them and avoided the escalation of the conflict. In the last stoppage time, Iran took advantage of the set-pieces in the frontcourt to force Moroccan striker Bohaduz to score the first own goal in this World Cup, and finally Iran beat Morocco by one goal.
This victory is very important for Iran, because the other two teams in Group B are Spain and Portugal, so only by winning the first game will they have a chance to qualify for the group. But for Morocco, their World Cup tour may have ended early, and their chances of winning against Spain and Portugal are slim.
