Disciplinary incident in the Iran national team during the match against Belgium
During the final minutes of the football match between the national teams of Iran and Belgium, an unusual incident occurred that caused a sharp confrontation on the pitch. As reported by ورزش سه, which deals with comprehensive sports coverage, the Iran national team was forced to play for a full minute at a numerical disadvantage of only ten players.
The reason for the incident was a misunderstanding of the substitution rules by midfielder Saeid Ezatolahi. According to reports from ورزش سه, Ezatolahi did not leave the pitch at the closest point to him as required, which caused a delay due to which the linesman refused to approve the entry of the substitute player, Amir-Hossein Hosseinzadeh.
The event led to an outburst of anger from the national team coach, Amir Ghalenoei. In the report by خبر فوری جنگ ایران, a channel that often reports on events that spark public outcry, it was noted that the coach was seen "shouting at Saeid Ezatolahi" due to his lack of awareness of the procedures, which hampered the team's ability to operate properly in the crucial minutes of the match.
