Iran secured a 1-1 draw against Egypt after a late goal was ruled out. The match, played at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, Qatar, leaves Iran in sixth place among third‑place teams. If the standings remain unchanged, Iran would qualify for the knockout stage. For Iran to advance, one of three remaining matches must produce a result: Ghana must beat or draw with Croatia, Algeria vs Austria must not end in a draw, or Uzbekistan must avoid defeat against Congo.
