Christian Pulisic could not even celebrate scoring against Iran after he injured himself as the United States beat Iran 1\u002D0 on Tuesday.
The Americans finished second in Group B with five points, two behind England, and will play the Netherlands on Saturday with the chance to reach the quarterfinals for the first time since 2002.We apologize, but this video has failed to load.There was heightened tension surrounding the match because of the strained relations between the United States and Iran’s Islamic government. Iran had famously upset the U.S. 2-1 in the 1998 tournament in France, eliminating the Americans.
Raucous Iranian fans with horns and drums in the crowd of 42,127 filled the lower bowl behind one goal at Al Thumama Stadium and were far louder than the red-white-and-blue U.S. supporters at the other end and behind the American bench. Weston McKennie lofted a pass from just past the centre circle to Sergino Dest at the edge of the six-yard box. Dest headed the ball in front of the net on a bounce as Pulisic charged up the centre of the field past Ramin Rezaeian and Majid Hosseiniand.Article content
