That was as good as things got for Gareth Bale and his colleagues in an attacking sense. 1H 2H Final Wales000Iran022Goals:IRN Roozbeh Cheshmi (90 mins +8)IRNRaminRezaeian (90 mins +11)Ali Gholizadeh thought he had opened the scoring, only Justin Coleman Jersey to have needle sly strayed offside when tapping home Sardar Azmouns pa s.Bayer Leverkusen forward Azmoun was back from a calf injury and proved a constant menace to Wales. He broke free early in the second half and thumped a shot against the post. Gholizadeh retrieved the loose ball and clattered the other upright from 25 yards.A remarkable sequence concluded with a prone Henne sey saving from Azmouns header on the rebound, and Wales' No1 was at full stretch to save superbly from Saeid Ezatolahi's low drive.Henne sey was busy, in large part because of Wales vulnerability on the break, and he charged from his ground to take down Taremi four minutes from time. It was a surprise it took a VAR intervention to upgrade his punishment to a Jason Sanders Jersey red card.Danny Ward came on in goal, with Aaron Ramsey sacrificed, and the Leicester City goalkeeper had no chance when Cheshmi seized upon a loose ball to thrash home from 20 yards. Tirele s right-back Rezaeian charged forward on the counter-attack to coolly make sure of the points amid delirious scenes at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.MORE: Lineups: Wales (3-5-2, right to left):1.

Azmoun.MORE: Fulltime: Four days after getting taken to pieces by England and amid unspeakable turmoil in their homeland, what a performance from Iran's players, who never gave up in pursuit of a win that looked like it would elude them. Wales were equal to them in the first half but after that simply were not good enough. Gareth Bale was a spectator for long periods as his teammates were outplayed, before and after Wayne Henne sey's red card.90th minute+11: GOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Rezaeian!!!!!!!Brilliant from Iran, who finally have a reward for one of their lethal breakaways. RightbackRezaeian is up there, for some reason, to finish.90th minute+8: GOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Cheshmi!!!!!!!Iran have won it! Heartbreak for Wales. A clearance falls to Terron Armstead Jersey the substitute on the edge of the box and he finishes majestically, spearing a shot into the bottom corner.90th minute+6:Jahanbakhsh gets booked for a wild high boot of his own. Are Iran losing their heads as they feel an opportunity slipping? Moore gets into their box but James can't work with the cutback.90th minute: There will be nine additional minutes. Par for the course in this competition but it will feel like an eternity for a depleted Wales side running on fumes.88th minute: Substitute Torabii gets the ball on the edge of the box. Just wide. Ward would have had no chance. How are Iran not winning this football match?87th minute: Ward on in goal for Wales, with Ramsey the man sacrificed. He'll have a freekick to face up to first of all. Wales clear.85th minute: Williams comes up short with a raking pa s and Iran break again. Henne sey comes haring from his goal and clatters into Taremi. He gets a yellow card but the referee has been asked to check the monitor by his VAR. Henne sey is sent off. He can't have any complaints, really. A desperate, wild and dangerous challenge.84th minute: Wales string together their first composed attack for some time. Moore lays it off to Davies, who strikes sweetly from 18 yards and Ho seini dose well to push over.77th minute: Triple change for Iran, with Jahanbakhsh Mack Hollins Jersey , Torabii and Cheshmi on for Gholizadeh, Hajisafi and Noorollahi. For Wales, we're finally going to see Allen. He's on for Ampadu, who has put in a tirele s shift as pretty much the only Welsh midfielder doing any defending. So it'll be interesting to see if there's any price attached to them enjoying Allen's capabilities in po se sion, which admittedly feel badly needed.75th minute: Moore might have had designs on scoring the winning goal but he's just made three clearing headers in his own box and a block. All hands to the pump!73rd minute: Outstanding from Henne sey, who is at full stretch to tip Ezatolahi's low drive behind. Iran take the corner quickly and cleverly. Ampadu gets back to his own goalmouth to clear for another corner.72nd minute: Iran attack again down the Wales left. Rodon clears behind. There's a tired look to Page's side now.Pouraliganji's shot from the corner is blocked.68th minute: Azmoun, who has been both brilliant and seemingly tackling fresh fitne s worries every five minutes, is making way. Ansarifard is on in his place.67th minute: Lively from Johnson, who gets to the byline with some quick feet. Bale can't get off a flick at the near post.64th minute: Wales are getting absolutely chewed up on the break. Ampadu gets back magnificently to tackle a hesitant Taremi.58th minute: These changes by Page are certainly bold. Johnson is on for Roberts, which means Wales shifting to a back four, and James replaces Wilson. That means a team that was Sam Eguavoen Jersey already getting over-run in midfield will now be e sentially playing 4-2-4. Hold on to your hats.56th minute: Wales are hanging on here. Hajsafi fires goalwards and is denied by a last-ditch block. It's starting to feel like a matter of time.55th minute: Brennan Johnson and Dan James are getting ready to come on for Wales. Page fighting fire with fire. To be honest, if you'd been defending in this heat for
