FULL-TIME: IRAN 2-2 NEW ZEALAND
Ghayedi’s late inswinging corner is met at the far post by Ezatolahi, who keeps the ball in play by nodding it across the face of goal, but Thomas throws himself in the way to intercept!
Bazeley’s fifth and final substitution sees Stemnic make way for Bindon.
New Zealand make a change in attack two minutes into added time, taking off Singh for Randall.
The fourth official indicates five minutes will be added to the end of the match for stoppages.

Hajisafi sticks in a leg to bring Just down robustly on the halfway line, looking to prevent a counter-attack. The Iran substitute gives the referee a knowing smile before receiving his yellow card, which is met without any protest.
