couldn't land a decisive blow. It will be a bittersweet feeling for Iran, who were hopeful of a win but failed to accomplish the feat.

Iran, however, bounced back with an equaliser in the 32nd minute, courtesy of Ramin Rezaeian goal. Elijah again put New Zealand ahead with a brilliant goal in the 55th minute, but Iran made it even after Mohammad Mohebi's strike in the 64th minute. Iran had a chance to take the lead in the final moments, but New Zealand showed strong defence to keep Iran at bay. More to follow...
