Morocco enjoying the upper hand in the first half. Morocco must be ruing the fact they started so well but failed to convert.
The Iran keeper made one fine save to deny Medhi Benatia after a corner fell to the Juventus centre-back.
Iran then grew into the game and had the best chance of the half just before the break – Sardar Azmoun missing a big chance by firing it at Munir Mohamedi, who completed a fine double save by flicking the follow up over the bar.
An entertaining game. Needs a goal, mind.
You couldn’t tell if Herve Renard realises that from just looking at him, Johnny. The Morocco boss stands stoically on the sidelines in his trademark white shirt as the interval approaches.
We hope to return to a same entertaining second half.
