Iran vs United States, FIFA World Cup 2022 Highlights: Christian Pulisic’s first half goal is enough to give the United States a 1-0 win over Iran to book their place in the knockout stages of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The Chelsea winger got injured in the process and went off at half time. Iran fought back to get into the game but ultimately did not have the attacking ability to create too much going forward.

Senegal are through to the knockout stages for the first time since 2002 with a 2-1 win over Ecuador. Sarr won a penalty just before the break when Hincapie crashed into him, and he coolly stepped up to slot it home. Moises Caicedo thought his equaliser was enough to get them there but Kalidou Koulibaly’s glorious finish sends the Lions of Teranga into the knockout rounds.

Cody Gakpo netted his third goal in three games as the Netherlands comfortably beat World Cup hosts Qatar 2-0 at the Al Bayt Stadium on Tuesday to secure top spot in Group A and advance to the knockout stages. The Dutch, who finished with seven points from their three group games, will be joined in the last 16 by Senegal, who knocked out Ecuador by beating them 2-1 to end up second on six points.
