Courageous

Red Card

When I turned the tv on, the match had just started, then in the 40th second a player from Bahrain was sent off for serious foul play which was right because he came in with both feet extended and studs up. Good call by the referee which showed courage.

Other cards

The two yellow cards given to the Iranian players were correct as well, even though he could have cautioned Teymourian for dissent later in the match as well.

Overall

Great teamwork between the officials. Assistants were also good which helped the referee. There was also a shout for a penalty from the Iranians in the 90th minute to which Green rightfully said no and continued the match. Well Done!

The Match

The result just shows how one sided this match was but to be honest, it could have been a lot more than just 6.
