Egypt 1 - 1 Iran
FULL-TIME!
Egypt and Iran settle for a 1-1 draw after a dramatic finish at Seattle Stadium.
Khalilzadeh thought he had won it for Iran in the third minute of second-half stoppage time, rifling into the roof of the net, but his goal was agonizingly ruled out for offside, breaking Iranian hearts.
Egypt took the lead inside five minutes when Beiranvand flapped at Salah's effort, allowing Saber to hit a first-time finish into the bottom-left corner.
Minutes later, referee Szymon Marciniak pointed to the penalty spot after Abdelmonem scraped the foot of Taremi, who saw his tame spot kick saved by Shobeir.
The Egypt goalkeeper then made a brilliant stop to deny Mohammadi's low attempt, but he could do nothing about the follow-up as Rezaeian fired into the roof of the net in the 14th minute.
Khalilzadeh sent a towering header past the post following Nemati's left-wing center before Trezeguet's first-time strike was thwarted by Beiranvand.
Taremi came inches away from giving his side a valuable lead, but the Olympiakos striker saw his header crash off the woodwork in the 89th minute.
After Khalilzadeh's goal was disallowed, Ezatolahi rattled the crossbar from six yards in the final seconds.
The result sees Egypt progress to the round of 32 in second place, where they will face Australia at Dallas Stadium.
Iran, currently one of the best third-placed teams, faces an anxious wait to see if they have qualified for the knockout stages for the first time in their history.
Egypt created 15 shots, with three on target, reflected by an xG of 0.81, while Iran registered 13 shots with four on target, highlighted by an xG of 1.94.
