1 / 3
Iran and New Zealand shared a thrilling 2-2 draw in their Group G opener at the Los Angeles Stadium, capping a memorable day at the 2026 World Cup. For the first time since 1958, all four matches on the same tournament day ended level, following stalemates in Spain vs Cape Verde, Belgium vs Egypt and Saudi Arabia vs Uruguay. New Zealand struck first through Elijah Just before Ramin Rezaeian equalised. Just’s second-half goal looked to seal victory, but Mohammad Mohebbi headed home to earn Iran a share of the points.
