With an average age of 32 years and 181 days, Iran have named the oldest starting line-up of any side at a World Cup match since records began in 1966 🇮🇷
1 – On MD1, Mikel Oyarzabal became the first player on record with 0 touches in the first 30 minutes of a FIFA World Cup game.
On MD2, he became just the third player to score/assist three goals in the opening 30 minutes (both since 1966).
Rebound.
2 – When facing 11 men, only two teams on record (since 1966) have completed 500+ passes, conceded 0 shots on target, and won a @FIFAWorldCup game by 4+ goals:
🇪🇸 Spain in 2022 (v Costa Rica)
🇯🇵 Japan in 2026 (v Tunisia)
Masterful.
3 - With two goals and an assist, Spain's Mikel Oyarzabal is only the second player on record (from 1966) to score or assist three goals in the opening 25 minutes of a FIFA World Cup match, after Hungary's László Fazekas against El Salvador in 1982 (1 goal, 2 assists).
Rapid.
18 - Lamine Yamal is only the second player aged 18 or younger to open the scoring in a FIFA World Cup match - the other was a 17-year-old Pelé for Brazil v Wales in 1958.
Emulating.
4 - Sweden are the first side to win their first game by 4+ goals (5-1) and then lose their second by 4+ goals (1-5) at a FIFA World Cup tournament since...
Sweden in 1938.
ABBA.
