Second goal for Iran: Mohebi
Momentos clave
End of the game
Iran defeated the United Arab Emirates by 2 goals to 0 in a match lacking emotions and good soccer. Both teams tried to score goals through filtered passes, but only Iran succeeded with a goal by Sardar Azmoun with a header at the end of the first half and another by Mohebi in the second half. Iran extends its unbeaten streak of more than 407 days, shaping up to qualify for the next World Cup without any problem.
7 more minutes are added
On this occasion, fortunately, the game was not stopped for half an hour, but due to multiple injury breaks, the fourth official decided to add 7 more minutes of play. We'll see if there's time for any more goals - stay tuned!

Goal For Iran!!!
Iran extended their lead. Mohebi received a through ball, but this time it was down low. He headed into the box on the left flank and sent the ball home. Eisa managed to touch the ball to try to cover it but, this time, he was unable to do so. 2-0 the score.
Shot by Mohammadi
The Iranian left back came to life and took a great shot that the goalkeeper deflected. Goalkeeper Eisa has already made several saves; he's saving his team from a possible drubbing by the home team. Keep them on their toes.
Yellow card for Suhail (UAE)
The UAE striker stopped an Iran counterattack by resorting to illegal contact. He brought down Mohebi as he was heading into the opposition half, in a move that resulted in an obvious caution. First yellow card of the match.
Shot from outside for UAE
Player #20 of the visiting team tried a shot from outside the area. He faced inside and fired a shot that went wide of the left side of the goal. United Arab Emirates tries to take risks with shots outside the box in an attempt to surprise the Iranians. We'll see if they score a goal this way.
Goal by Iran disallowed
What it looked like the second goal of the night for Iran turned out to be an offside, confirmed by the VAR. The Iranian striker was slightly offside and unfortunately for the home team, the striker was slightly ahead of schedule.
Start of the second half
United Arab Emirates move the ball at the start of the second half. They will try to come back from a difficult match but it won't be easy. Stay tuned to VAVEL to follow the minute by minute of this exciting match. VAVEL is your best option!
End of the first half
After a slow and eventful first half, Iran took the lead at the end of the match and made it 1-0. United Arab Emirates did not have so many chances to score, but they also tried to find their striker Caio Lucas with crosses from the sides. Stay tuned and follow Live on VAVEL!
Occasion for UAE
A cross came in from the right for Caio Lucas, who dived to try to head the ball without any success. he came very close to hitting the ball and sending it into the back of the net, but failed to do so. The score remained unchanged.
Goal for Iran!!!
Azmoun with a header! The cross came in from the right with Sardar Azmoun on the receiving end. So much they looked for and now, the home team got their reward. They were the better team in this eventful first half. 1-0 the score!
Ocassion for Hunt (UAE)
On a run from the left flank, Hunt took a strong shot as he approached the box. Beinravand, the home team's goalkeeper, responded in a great way, denying the ball that was coming very hard. It was just a scare for the home team, who are also failing to convert their chances.
A visiting team player is treated
The match is delayed a little more. Now, an injured player of the visiting team is being treated. Fortunately it was nothing and the match is resumed immediately. There are still 15 minutes of play left in this first half.
Iran tries with filtered passes
Iran is trying to close in with aerial balls from the back, but are failing to penetrate the visitors' defense. they are trying to find Azmoun, who is heading vertically into the box, but are not succeeding with it.
An additional 29 minutes will be added
29 minutes will be added to the first half. Something unprecedented but, at the same time, logical; 29 minutes was the approximate time that the break lasted due to technical failures. Let's hope that there will be no inconveniences in the rest of the match. Stay tuned!
Caio with the shot outside the box
On a bad back pass by the Iranian defender, Caio found a ball and headed towards goal. He took the decision to shoot from outside the box, but anxiety got the better of him and the shot went wide. It was a very good opportunity that the Emirati team missed.
The game finally continues

Mohebi
Iran's #8 player latched on outside the box and was poised to shoot at the far post, but the shot was deflected by the defender. Mohebi was active in the first few minutes of play. We will see if he can score a goal later on.
Iran with the chance
Azmoun chested the ball down to Mohebi who was one-on-one with the goalkeeper, however, the keeper responded in a great way to deny a ball that could very well have ended in the first goal of the night. The score remained 0-0.
