- 0' KICK OFF: Iran gets underway.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Ahmad Nourollahi, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 10' Wales is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 15' It looks surprising Wales does not make any changes. Sardar Azmoun has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 16' What a strike from Ali Gholizadeh! The score is 0-1.
- 21' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Chris Mepham suffering a number of foals already.
- 26' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 26 minutes.
- 31' The travelling Iran supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 36' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 41' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Wales needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 45' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Joe Rodon.
- 50' Wales started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 50.
- 55' Iran seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 58' Another substitution for Wales to replace Harry Wilson by Brennan Johnson on 58 minute.
- 63' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 68' The supporters are chanting for Karim Ansarifard. He replaces Sardar Azmoun on 68 minute.
- 73' It’s high time Robert Page made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 77' Iran manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Alireza Jahanbakhsh is hanging Ali Gholizadeh on the field on 77 minute.
- 78' Joe Allen has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ethan Ampadu on 78 minute.
- 83' Another substitution for Iran to replace Saeid Ezatolahi by Ali Karimi on 83 minute.
- 85' It’s a booking for Wales player. Wayne Hennessey gets a Yellow card.
- 87' The referee calls foul for Wayne Hennessey. He receives a Red card.
- 88' The supporters are chanting for Danny Ward. He replaces Aaron Ramsey on 88 minute.
