Match overview
Scotland opened the scoring through an own goal but struggled to maintain control. Iran equalised through substitute Danaeifard and nearly stole the win in the closing stages.
Trivia
This was Iran’s first-ever point at a World Cup. Eskandarian’s own goal was the first own goal of the 1978 tournament.
