Wales wears RAINBOW sleeve in defiant stand at Qatar World Cup

Wales’ World Cup dream is over after two injury time goals from Iran condemned them to a 2-0 defeat.

Goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey was sent of for a reckless challenge as he tried to intercept a long ball, while Iran had earlier struck both posts within seconds of each other before deservedly taking all three points. 

Wales were lucky not to be behind after struggling in the first half against Iran and had a goal against them disallowed for offside. 

Shortly after half-time it was hearts in mouth again for Wales as Iran struck both posts within seconds of each other.

Iran’s Sardar Azmoun smacked one post from close range before Ali Gholizadeh curled an effort from outside the box against the other.
