A potential game-winning goal for Iran against Egypt was disallowed in the final moments of the match after a review by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) determined the play to be offside.
For a brief period, it appeared Iran had secured a crucial goal that could have propelled them forward. However, the celebration was short-lived as VAR intervened. The technology was used to scrutinize the buildup to the goal, ultimately revealing an offside infraction that nullified the score.
The decision, made after a detailed review of the play, means the score remained unchanged and impacted the potential outcome for Iran in the competition.
