DISALLOWED GOAL - Iranpublished at 02:54 BST
Postpublished at 45+4 mins
Iran 1-1 New Zealand
A long throw in from the right causes chaos in the New Zealand penalty area and Iran's Shahriyar Moghanloo, with his back to goal, gets there first to flick the ball goalwards with a glancing header.
It is not a bad attempt either, with the ball landing on the roof of the net, not inside it. His reaction shows that he thought that was a real chance.

Prime Drogba? That's a lot of weight to put on an assist against Iran!
But Chris Wood does get a chance to get a goal himself as he stands over a free-kick. Prime Beckham? Not this time as the effort is not too powerful and not that well placed, straight at Alireza Beiranvand.

He spent most of the season injured but Chris Wood has emerged today playing like prime Didier Drogba. As I type, Iran get back into it. What a game!

Always love a good stat and this is a nice one.
Three shots on target in the first 30 minutes of this match for New Zealand is as many as they had throughout the entire 2010 World Cup (three) - the last time they competed in the tournament.

This is the fourth match played in North America on Monday. We've had three draws and this one is level too.
'Cute finish'published at 02:40 BST
Iran 1-1 New Zealand
Leon Osman
Former Everton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 liveIt really was a cute finish, Rezaeian started the move himself as well. As the ball bounces towards him, he flicks it with the outside of his right foot. Iran have been a bit more positive in the last few minutes and that is where the goal has come from.
'Gambles'published at 02:40 BST
Iran 1-1 New Zealand
Chris Sutton
Former England forward on BBC OneIt was a clever finish from Rezaeian. He gambles, composes himself and finishes with the outside of the right boot. Crocombe had no chance.
New Zealand haven't got going since the hydration break and Iran are level.
GOAL - Iran 1-1 New Zealandpublished at 32 mins
Ramin Rezaeian (Iran)
Not for the first time in this tournament, the hydration break stops one team's momentum and allows the opponents to regroup.
Iran had been the better team since the restart and the ball is nudged through into the path of Ramin Rezaeian and he uses the outside of the boot to flick the ball past Max Crocombe, who doesn't even have time to dive.
A quick check to see if he's onside, and he was, and we're level.

Chris Sutton
Former England forward on BBC OneThe hydration break seems to have disrupted New Zealand, who were well in the ascendency on the way in to it.
Postpublished at 30 mins
Iran 0-1 New Zealand
Max Crocombe in the New Zealand goal is making his country's fans nervous. Iran think they should have had a penalty when Crocombe was challenged by Mohammad Mohebbi after a heavy touch.
The sliced clearance then drops for Saman Ghoddos, but his lobbed effort from deep can only go wide.
Not too long after Ghoddos has another go, but the ball was always rising and goes well over the top.

Long way to go but if Australia and NZ each finish second in their group, they’ll play each other in the last 32. As a citizen of both countries, I’d feel overjoyed and conflicted if that were to eventuate!

Iran v New Zealand at 2am was always going to be one for the hardcore football fans, but we're all getting our reward for staying up with a very entertaining clash so far.
Not one to send you to sleep.

Hydration break time in Los Angeles, so a perfect time to have a look back at the only goal so far.

Iran 0-1 New Zealand
Leon Osman
Former Everton midfielder on BBC Radio 5 liveIt’s a mix of being very unlucky and being very poor. It is four v two and the moment he decides to go himself he has to score. It’s a good strike and he is unlucky he hit the post but he had so many opportunities. They had to score there.
HITS THE WOODWORK - Taremi (Iran)published at 24 mins
Iran 0-1 New Zealand
Inches away from 1-1. Mehdi Taremi leads an Iran charge downfield and the New Zealanders are backing off and backing off.
Taremi gets to within 20 yards and goes for goal, only for his fierce strike to bounce off the right-hand upright.

Iran 0-1 New Zealand
Image source, ReutersNew Zealand started slowly, went ahead and have now been well on top.
Iran just can't handle Chris Wood's power and presence up front. He lays it off to Sarpreet Singh and he tries his luck from 20 yards out.
Alireza Beiranvand spills the ball in the Iran goal, but then gathers at the second attempt.

There is a coach on the bench for New Zealand, Tony Readings. He led the women’s team as manager and had the best win rate for the women’s team in charge. Is he working his magic behind the scenes again?

Iran 0-1 New Zealand
Elijah Just's goal today is only New Zealand's second goal in the first half of a World Cup match.
Top marks if you knew that Shane Smeltz scored in the seventh minute of the 1-1 draw with Italy back in 2010.
