⚽ Ramin Rezaeian: We deserved to win

💬 "We started the match well, but conceded a surprising goal. I don't know how we let in such strange goals."

💬 "A win was our right in this match. Hats off to the boys who worked hard."

Iran’s Mehdi Taremi & Mohammad Mohebi said FIFA president Gianni Infantino was in their locker room pre-game saying he’d help

also said circumstances are unfair — took 5 hours to travel from Tijuana to LA yesterday (presumably because of immigration) & they have to leave tonight

“The resilience of the Iranians was there for all to see.”

They were ranked 23, 60 pts higher than NZ but they had every single possible disadvantage. Still, they came back, not once, but TWICE, to pull a tie with New Zealand. They made us so proud.
Zendebad Team Melli! 🇮🇷❤️🇮🇷

⚽ Ramin was phenomenal on the pitch tonight. But most others lacked intent and failed to convert half chances. Taremi and Shahryar played decently well but I think Torabi was missed. He has the uncanny ability to score. Defense needs a lot of work.

[Syed Zafar Mehdi @mehdizafar]

⚽ Not the kind of result I expected and not the kind of result Iran wanted from its opening game against a relatively weaker side.

The quest for knockout qualification just got harder with games against Belgium and Egypt.

FT: IRN 🇮🇷 2-2 🇳🇿 NZL

Iran has been held to a draw by the lowest-ranked team at the 2026 World Cup.

A common theme under Amir Ghalenoei is a side that looks disjointed, defensively fragile, and lacking a clear attacking identity.

Iran will struggle against Egypt and Belgium.

[Parviz D. Siavash @ParvizSiavash]

@websterkaroon Our problem isn't technical but tactical, there was no filter in midfield. As always, we struggle with tight exchanges. The fast half-backs are causing us problems. Kanaani can't stay out and Ghoddos must be sacrificed for a real midfielder, having two wingers and two strikers.

⚽️🇮🇷 FT: Iran 2-2 New Zealand

Not the result we wanted. We were far too shaky at the back and it cost us.

Nevertheless, we’re still in this. Egypt is now a massive game and one we need to win.

Let’s regroup and go again. On to the next.

FT: Iran 2-2 New Zealand

• Should have been an easy win, but considering we have key players injured, it’s an expected yet disappointing result.
• Where we lack defensively, we make up in attack.

Belgium next. Can’t afford to make the same mistakes. Must perform better. 🤲

[Hatam Shiralizadeh @HatamDaddy]

The Iranian national football team drew 2-2 in their first game of the 2026 World Cup, on a day when the team had its ups and downs and, unlike the attack, we were shaky in defense.

Now, we need to put this game behind us and concentrate fully on our next match against Belgium.

[Hatam Shiralizadeh @HatamDaddy]

Ramin Rezaeian, man of the Iran-New Zealand's match: "We started off strong, but we conceded a surprise goal. Nevertheless, each time we fell behind, we managed to come back into the game. I believe we deserved to win. We won’t give up, and we will strive to make our fans happy."
