Iran, who is in England's group in the World Cup, lost to Uruguay
It is as if Iran gave a warning to England. Iran defeated full-strength Uruguay 1-0 in a friendly match held in Austria. Mehdi Teremi scored the only goal from the penalty in the 79th minute of the match.
Teams like Brazil, Argentina, Germany came to the field, maybe everyone was less interested in the match between Uruguay and Iran. However, in that less important match, Iran surprised the two-time World Cup winning team Uruguay.
All eyes were on how Carlos Queiroz would do in his second chapter. After being the coach of Iran for the first time from 2011 to 2019, he was fired by the Iranian Football Board. However, last month, that Queiroz was again given the responsibility of the team. But he made a great start to his second chapter.
Iran beat Uruguay with Nunez, Suarez, Valverde. These two teams have only met once before. In the first meeting between these two teams in 2003, Uruguay defeated Iran in a tiebreaker.
Meanwhile, in this victory, Iran gave a kind of warning to England. Because these two teams are in the same group in the World Cup. Their other two companions in 'B' group are USA and Wales.
And Uruguay's coach Diego Alonso has lost his head. The Uruguayan coach seems to have a very difficult group in the World Cup. Uruguay's opponents in Group 'H' are Portugal, South Korea and Ghana.
