His heart could not stand it
The incident came after Iranian footballer Saeid Ezatolahi scored the 1-1 goal. However, the line judge raised the flag to signal offside. It was decided to check the correctness of this signaling in the VAR system. However, one of the members of the training staff of the Iranian team could not stand the expectations of the decision. More specifically - his heart could not stand it and he went straight to the hospital from the field.
Iran with a chance for promotion
Ultimately, Iran lost 1-0 to Spain and is 3rd in the table with 3 points on the account. However, he still has a chance of leaving the group and a historic promotion to the 1/8 World Cup. However, he has a difficult task ahead of him - he has to win the last match against Portugal. A different result will mean that the favorites will come out of the group - Portugal and Spain.
