Edin Dzeko showed up for the Bosnian team once more, giving them the lead versus Iran on the 32nd minute. If the Middle-eastern team wins, however, they will go through instead of Nigeria, though that would require them scoring 2 goals to take the lead and for Nigeria to lose.

In the 59th minute, as if snuffing out Iran’s hopes, Pjanic scored a second goal for Bosnia, giving them an even more comfortable lead.

Iran tried to claw back with a goal by Reza Ghoochannejhad 82 minutes in but Avdija Vrsajevic responded immediately, pulling them back to reality only one minute later, making it 3-1.
