The U.S. beat Iran 1-0 in a gutsy must-win game at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar on Tuesday, helping the team qualify for the second round of the tournament where it will face The Netherlands in a knockout-stage game this weekend
The U.S. missed the World Cup in 2018 but has now reached the round of 16 for three consecutive World Cup appearances and in four of its past five overall. The win also snapped a five-game winless streak for Team USA that included a disappointing 1-1 tie in its World Cup opener against Wales, and a much stronger effort but a 0-0 tie against eventual Group B winner England.
That U.S.-England game on Black Friday drew 15.4 million viewers on Fox, while another 4.6M tuned in to the U.S. Spanish-language coverage on Telemundo, Peacock and digital platforms. That was up 33% for the U.S.’ opener against Wales. England beat Wales 3-0 in the other final group game Tuesday and will play Senegal in the knockout round. Iran and Wales have been eliminated.
On Pulisic’s goal, Weston McKennie’s through ball found Sergiño Dest, who headed it across the goal box to a charging Pulisic. He pushed the ball on one hop past reaching Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand but the two collided. Pulisic stayed down for several minutes. His status for the rest of the team’s tournament run is unclear.
The U.S. dominated possession in the first half and had a 8-0 lead in shots, but the second half was more nervy as Iran pressed for the equalizer. The U.S. made more defensive subs late and sweated through 9-plus minutes of extra time, including central defender Walker Zimmerman, one of those subs, cleared away one ball off goal line after it got past U.S. keeper Matt Turner in 98th minute to help the cause.
