Own-goal earns Iran 1-0 win over Morocco at World Cup

None

Aziz Bouhaddouz headed a free kick into his own net in the fifth minute of injury time to gift Iran a 1-0 victory over Morocco on Friday at the World Cup.

 

Only on the field as a 77th-minute substitute, the Morocco striker dived to reach a curling cross from the left but headed the ball past goalkeeper Monir El Kajoui.

  

It was Iran's second win in 13 matches at the World Cup, and Asia's first since the 2010 tournament in South Africa.
