Iran grab late World Cup victory against Morocco

Iran were gifted a late 1-0 victory over Morocco in their opening World Cup match today when Aziz Bouhaddouz headed into his own net five minutes into injury time.

The Group match B in Saint Petersburg had been heading for a goalless draw until Bouhaddouz's unfortunate intervention as he tried to clear Ehsan Haji Safi's cross but only directed it past his own goalkeeper.
