He was carried away from the field on a stretcher after unsuccessfully trying to play on after colliding with his teammate Hosseini Majid in the World Cup Group B opener against England at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After missing the goal closely in the 29th and 31st minutes, England continued to dominate the match with Jude Bellingham scoring with a superb header in the 35th minute.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A nimble Bukayo Saka scored with a direct hit after beating the Iranian defence in the 42nd minute before Raheem Sterling made it 3-0 in the first half. In the second half, Saka struck again to make it 4-0 as the Iranian side hardly managed to have ball possession.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Iranians tried to come back into the game as Mehdi Taremi scored the first one for Iran in the 61st minute.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Marcus Rashford and Jack Grealish of England scored in the 71st and 89th minutes respectively, while Taremi again scored the second goal for Iran with a spot kick during injury time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/lDWyCpYznl0\">Afghanistan&#39;s Next Generation Of Cricketers On The Dusty Pitches Of Kabul<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England play the US on November 25 at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Khor, and Iran will face Wales on the same day at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium.<\/p>\r\n",
