We are not just oppressed, we are unlucky too: Iran head coach after 93rd-minute goal disallowed

Iran head coach Amir Ghalenoei said his side weren't only "oppressed" by travel and visa restrictions but also "unlucky" after their 93rd-minute goal against Egypt in their last group match was disallowed by VAR for marginal offside. The match ended 1-1, denying Iran direct qualification for FIFA World Cup 2026 knockouts. They must now depend on third-place rankings to progress.
