result of world cup iran vs marocco

The result of Group B 2018 World Cup between Morocco vs Iran in Saint Petersburg Stadium, Friday night, after the score 0-1. Morocco scored an own goal in the fifth minute of injury time!

Action actually took place with both teams attacking each other but there is little chance. Just to remind that both teams melakoni each qualification as a team that is very strong in defense. Morocco topped their group in African zone qualifiers without conceding a goal in six games. While Iran broke the World Cup qualifying record by winning 12 times a net goal in a row on the way to grab tickets to Russia 2018 from the Asian zone.

With two European giants, Spain and Portugal, are two other inhabitants in Group B then in fact a mandatory win for both teams in St Petersburg tonight. The assumption is, they will face a much more difficult fight then, face Selecao and La Roja.

There is not much history of football matches between the two sides in the field because both countries have a bad relationship. Relations deteriorated after the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran. The Persian state broke off diplomatic relations with Morocco in 1981.

The relationship was rebuilt in 1991 before King Mohammed VI of Morocco broke off their ties again in 2009. Diplomatic relations were renewed in 2014 but broke off again last month after Morocco was disappointed by Iran's military support for the independence movement in Western Sahara, Polisario Front.

Just 2 minutes Juventus player Medhi Benatia sent one pass into the opposite box, but did not end anything. The 4th minute Judge Ziyech gained the ball from a 20-yard distance, unmarked, had time and space, but his shot missed.

It's been 10 minutes gone and the Atlas lions continue to dominate tonight's game. Another of their attacks widened in the 9th minute by El Kaabi. The 20th minute is the best chance for the African representative. In one chaos in front of goal Team Melli (national team) favorite nickname of the Iranian people, there are two three kicks towards goal but no goals. A stunning rescue by goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand.

Starting 21 minutes before Iran slowly regained the ball and dominated the midfield. But up to 40 minutes no significant breakthrough so far. There was only one shot on target, yes it was 20 minutes by Moroccan children.

On the 42nd minute there is a chance for Team Melli. They made one quick counterattack but the opponent's attack was blocked by goalkeeper Munir Mohamedi. And the vomiting balls failed to take advantage. End of first half 0-0.

The 60th minute both teams were frustrated with their respective defensive powers and as a result they applied the long ball games forward, which - predictably - ended in vain. Always not right on target, intercepted, processed briefly sent far ahead, fail again. So on and so over and over this time.

Iranian captain Masoud Shojaei was involved in a dispute with Younes Belhanda in a 2018 World Cup match between Morocco and Iran on Friday night.

74 minutes Nordin Amrabat fell hard at the edge of the field. The medical team immediately examined the Watford winger and found that he was hit by a concussion from falling with his head first. He was soon replaced by his own sibling, Sofyan Amrabat. One other player who pulled out was El Kaabi, by Aziz Bouhaddouz.

The 79th minute is a great save! Belhanda dropped the ball and as if to shoot straight at goal but instead transferred the ball to Judge Ziyech. The Ajax player then fired but was denied by Beiranvand keeper. Just tipped a corner kick.

It's 83 minutes. And there has been no goal. Both teams play more carefully, as if to avoid last minute tragedy as experienced by Egypt a few hours ago. The 85th minute a golden pass came to Real Madrid's Achraf Hakimi, but he paused for a moment and the ball passed under his feet. Too bad!

Turkish referee decided to give 6 minutes of injury time. Really generous. There will be plenty of opportunities for both teams to score a goal that breaks the opponent's heart, tonight.

Well, right? GOAL! Iran! It was an own goal by Aziz Bouhaddouz in the fifth minute of injury time.

After extra 6 minutes, referee Cuneyt Cakir finally blew the long whistle. Morocco vs Iran results closed with a final score of 0-1.
