OVERVIEW
Iran's victory over Morocco, they're first at a World Cup finals since 1998 and only their second in five tournaments, means they head Group B.
There is a long way to go before they can think about qualifying for the knock-out stages, though. Any hopes of advancing now rest on being able to spring a surprise in this fixture and their final group game against Portugal on 25 June.
However, rising above adversity has been a theme for Iran during qualification and the build-up to this tournament.
First-choice goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand, 25, slept rough earlier in his career while trying to establish himself and Nike withdrew its supply of boots to the Iranian players before the World Cup because of new US sanctions.
