Match PreviewPreview: Egypt vs Iran
A knockout in all but name between two heavyweights of African and Asian football.
Egypt against Iran on the final matchday could be a knockout in all but name — two heavyweights of African and Asian football, possibly both needing the win to reach the last 16.
Salah against an organised Iran defence is the headline duel, with Taremi a constant threat at the other end. For an African audience, Egypt carry the flag; for Asia, Iran do the same.
With New Zealand v Belgium kicking off at the same time, every goal will be measured against the other result. For the loser, the World Cup likely ends here. Kick-off is 06:00 in Kenya time. Back your team and call the score on the match page.
