A total of 8 goals were scored in the England-Iran challenge, which ended with the result 6-2, valid for Group B of the "QATAR 2022" World Cup.
A perfect start for Southgate's "Three Lions" who won convincingly with three goals scored in each half of the game. Despite numerous nets, the first goal would come in the 35th minute from Bellingham, as Saka and Sterling also scored in the first half.
In the 62nd minute, Saka would again find the way to the net by scoring a personal double, as Rashford and Grealish, who came on as substitutes, also scored.
Both goals for Iran were scored by Taremi, who first scored in the 65th minute and then converted a 11-meter penalty given by the VAR system into a goal in the extra minutes.
The defense and centre-forward Kane, who failed to score, seem to be the only concerns for England today. Due to VAR interventions and injuries, a full 117 minutes were played on the green field.
To be highlighted in this challenge was the moment of the anthems, as some Iranian football players refused to sing it because of the regime in their country.
