    Iran 0-1 USA

    Chelsea's Christian Pulisic is the second player from the Premier League to score a World Cup goal for the USA, after Fulham's Clint Dempsey against England in 2010.

    HT: Iran 0-1 USA

    Both full-backs are getting into good positions and pushing forward but they need good numbers in the box and those crosses need to be spot on. USA need a bit more quality in the final third. They have to capitalise on their chances.

    Iran 0-1 USA

    Iran have failed to attempt a single shot in the first half of a World Cup game for the first time in their history.

    It wasn't great.

    We could see the game switching. Iran were really controlled at the beginning but the USA couldn't find anyone in the box. But then they got the goal and they were more aggressive in the box and it's a totally different game.

    Iran were really good against Wales because they were more confident. They have to have a completely different approach in the second half compared to the first half. They have quality to do a lot better but at the moment we have seen the USA create chances and be good on the ball and it is a good result for them.

  7. Can Pulisic carry on?published at 19:58 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    I think I'll hear the sound of those horns throughout my sleep tonight...

    The USA deserve to be ahead and Iran offered barely anything in that first half.

    The main concern now will be whether Christian Pulisic can carry on. He went straight to the medical staff as he walked down the tunnel and they were in deep conversation. He wasn't limping as much though.

    HT: Iran 0-1 USA

    Iran failed to have a single shot in the opening half, becoming the fourth side to not do so at the 2022 World Cup (following Costa Rica against Spain, Saudi Arabia against Argentina and Ghana against Portugal).

    Needless to say, they will need to show a bit more in order to reach the last 16.

    Iran 0-1 USA

    As things stand, it's the Netherlands v USA on Saturday in the first last-16 tie.

    Here's the goal which has taken the USA to within 45 minutes of the knockout stages.

  12. HALF-TIMEpublished at 19:53 Greenwich Mean Time 29 November 2022

    Iran 0-1 USA

    The half-time whistle goes.

    USA are heading into the knockout stages as things stand and Iran are going home.

    With Wales currently drawing though, Iran just need one goal to go through instead.

    That was a great finish from Weah but just offside. That would have been the game done.

  14. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 45+7 mins

    Iran 0-1 USA

    USA think it's 2-0 but the flag goes up.

    Timothy Weah runs onto Tyler Adams' stunning through ball and nicks the ball past the onrushing goalkeeping into the empty net.

    It's disallowed for offside.

    Into the final minute now. USA are pinging the ball round.

    Iran haven't troubled USA at all, they haven't been able to.

    I've been disappointed with the Iran front two. At times when they have had the ball, they've lost it too easily.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 45+3 mins

    Iran 0-1 USA

    Injured left-back Milad Mohammadi is replaced by midfielder Ali Karimi. Captain Ehsan Hajisafi drops to left-back.

    Mohammadi signalled to the bench and it looks like his race is run. Sometimes when you get one of those injuries, you know something has happened and you won't be able to carry on.

    Brilliant move from USA, stunning play from Adams in the middle of the pitch and then the front two tried to combine there. It's unlucky, clever little combination. Maybe Weah could have hit it but it's really well read from Hosseini.

    Iran 0-1 USA

    Iran defender Milad Mohammadi stumbles while controlling a ball and he's down injured. Iran are getting a sub ready in case.
