Group D off to a flyer

Its half time at Franken-Stadion, with Iran 1 and Mexico 1. Both teams were in attacking mood from the beginning and match got off to a flying start with some quality end to end football. Iran were better off the two side with creating more chances and looked more fluid. But there passing accuracy desired a lot and their crosses were disappointing too which didn’t help their cause. Mexico took the lead in 28th minute from a set piece when Franco Guillermo found space in Iranian’s box and flicked the header to Omar Bravo who scored from short range.

Iranians came back strongly with Ali Karimi impressive as ever and six minutes later they got a corner and GolMohammadi yahya scored on a rebound. Crowd has been absolutely amazing in this match with both teams spectators in colorful outfits. Looking forward for another hot half.
