The United States men’s national team can breathe a sigh of relief after beating Iran 1–0 on Tuesday to advance to the knockout round in the 2022 men’s World Cup.
Christian Pulisic scored the USMNT’s only goal in the 38th minute, which eventually allowed the team to seal the win. But, if Iran would’ve scored and the game resulted in a draw, the USMNT would be heading home. So, fans were on the edge of their seats for the remainder of the game.
The nerves really set in during the final minutes as Iran attacked the goal multiple times to attempt to score.
