| Iranian celebrates after a heartbreaking own goal sunk Morocco in IR Iran's favour for a 1-0 win |
While it was Uruguay in the earlier encounter, a heartbreaking own goal sunk Morocco in IR Iran's favour for a 1-0 win.
Morocco flew out of the traps in Saint Petersburg, carving out some sensational chances, but Iran easily could have gone in ahead at the break.
By contrast, the second-half hardly had a opening worthy of note, until deep in stoppage time when Aziz Bouhaddouz headed into his own net.
Final Score: Iran 1 - 0 Morocco
