🧠 Match Summary

vs

Egypt made a blistering start in Seattle, with Mahmoud Saber firing the Pharaohs ahead in just the fifth minute. The lead was short-lived, however, as Ramin Rezaeian levelled for Iran nine minutes later, setting the tone for a fiercely contested Group G encounter at the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Despite controlling 61% of possession and generating 15 shots to Iran's 12, Egypt were unable to find a winner, with only three of their attempts troubling the goalkeeper. Iran, more disciplined and direct, edged shots on target 4–3 and collected four yellow cards in a combative display that included 16 fouls. Referee Szymon Marciniak had his hands full throughout, but the point leaves both sides with work to do heading into the next stage.
