The start of the second half of the game was nothing short of electrifying as the Ivorian team stepped up their game to extend their lead. They started with a fierce attack that left the Iranians scrambling to defend their goal.
Wilfried Zaha emerged as the hero of the moment. He received a beautiful diagonal pass from Serey Dié and took off down the right wing like a rocket, leaving the Iranian defenders in his wake.
Ehsan Hajsafi, the Iranian left-back, tried to stop Zaha in his tracks, but his efforts were in vain against the Ivorian's lightning-fast footwork. With a burst of energy and skill, Zaha danced past him and raced towards the box, dodging defenders like they were standing still.
