Iranian footballers returned home

Portugal had been frustrated by a well-disciplined Iran side for 45 minutes and had barely had a shot at goal before the Beskitas forward struck a sublime curler that turned the match on its head and prompted the second-half drama. Quaresma was substituted after a running battle with Saeid Ezatolahi after the break, but the veteran's goal on his first World Cup start will live long in the memory.​​​​​​​
