Iran and Egypt draw in a World Cup-related match after VAR intervenes to disallow a late Iranian goal. Iran’s Shoja Khalilzadeh scores in the 93rd minute to give Iran a potential late lead, but video assistant referee (VAR) reviews the strike and overturns the goal. As a result, the match ends level rather than with Iran securing a win. With the late goal ruled out, Iran must wait to see how the rest of the competition affects their qualification hopes and overall standing. The outlets agree that the decisive moment comes at the end of regular time, when Iran appears to have taken full points only for the off-field review to change the outcome. The result leaves both teams with a point from the match and keeps the progression picture unresolved for Iran.
