Very good game by Iran. Only if they believed in their offensive abilities a bit more. There really is no need to defend like this when you can create chances and scare the opponent.
Azmoun is not the guy to bank your scoring hopes on. Taremi, despite being brainless, worked twice as hard and was much more dangerous than Azmoun. Ansarifard too was more dangerous. Azmoun was a walking stick most of the game.
