What should a coach do when the team plays otherwise fine but has a mental breakdown? Like, should he have changed the whole team out? He made his subs, bringing in Ansarifard, Ghoddos. Maybe he could bring in Ghoddos before or after, but when the team loses itself after that, not exactly his fault.
Also, Iran came out much more attacking in the 2nd half, which left the space for Japan to attack.
As if it's easy to catch up a 2 goal lead in 30 minutes.
