At the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha (Qatar), the group stage match of the 2022 World Cup has come to an end, in which England defeated Iran with a score of 6: 2.
Iran has made six substitutions, but according to the rules, teams can only change five players. The fact is that the goalkeeper of the Iranian national team, Alirez Beiranvand, collided with the defender Majid Hosseini in a head-on, after which he was taken away on a stretcher. It was reported that the goalkeeper’s nose was broken and a concussion is suspected. In such cases, FIFA allows additional substitutions. Note that the British also have the right to make an additional substitution.
England scored goals from Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka (twice), Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish. Mehdi Taremi scored two goals for the Iran national team.
