Iran boss VAR mad

However, Iran manager Carlos Queiroz said that "VAR is not going well", despite his side benefiting from the late spot-kick.

Queiroz was critical of the decision not to dismiss Ronaldo after he swung his arm into the face of defender Morteze Pouraliganji.

"You stop the game to VAR. There is an elbow," he said. "An elbow is a red card in the rules. In the rules, it doesn't say if it is [Barcelona and Argentina forward Lionel] Messi or Ronaldo.

"The decisions must be clear for everybody. Everybody agrees that VAR is not going well. There are a lot of complaints.

"We asked Fifa for a clarification and they refused. We just want to know who is refereeing the game, who is taking decisions in the game. We have the right to know."
