By Rubén Morales Iglesias: England had a party today in their first game of the 2022 FIFA World Cup routing Iran 6-2 in Group B’s first match.

Iran resisted for just over half an hour, but in the 35^th minute Jude Bellingham put England ahead opening the faucet which would pour out the half a dozen goals.

Bubayo Saka followed in the 43^rd and Raheem Sterling made it three before the half ended in the 45’+1.

Saka struck again in the 62^nd for a 4-0 lead.

But Iran pushed forward and got a consolation goal in the 65^th on a power strike by Mehdi Taremi to put the match at 4-1.

Six minutes later in the 71^st, Marcus Rashford, who had just been on the field for a few seconds after substituting for Saka, nailed the Iranian keeper Ali Beiranvand for the 5-1 lead.

Jack Grealish sank in England’s final goal in the 90^th minute for the final 6-1 score.

Ten minutes of injury time were added to the match after the 90^th minute. At the end of these 10 minutes, the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) check ruled a penalty kick in favour of Iran which was converted by Taremi in the 901+13 for the final 6-2 blowout.

Exceptional start for England who put the bar very high for the United States and Wales who play at 1:00 pm today.

Before that Senegal challenge the Netherlands at 10:00 am in Group A’s second game. In the first group match, Ecuador defeated hosts Qatar 2-0 in the opener on Sunday.
