Arabic version: VAR ينفي هدف إيران المتأخر ضد مصر في مباراة كأس العالم

Shoja Khalilzadeh’s goal is ruled out by VAR in added time to deny Iran automatic qualification for the last 32 in the World Cup 2026. This decision leaves Iran needing to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams in their group.

The match against Egypt took place in Group G, and the disallowed goal came at a crucial moment for Iran. According to BBC News, this late drama has significant implications for Iran’s chances moving forward in the tournament.

As the tournament progresses, teams are increasingly aware of the importance of every goal, especially in tightly contested matches like this one. Iran will now have to rely on their performance in upcoming matches to determine their fate in the competition.
