Later in the game, Wales goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey was sent off, giving Iran a man advantage in the final minutes of the second half. Hennessey collided with Iranian attacker Mehdi Taremi as he raced out of his penalty area after failing to clear the ball. When the Iranian side appealed, a VAR check was performed, and Hennessey was given a yellow card by Guatemalan referee Mario Escobar. The referee later altered his decision, and Hennessey was ordered to leave the field, reducing the Welsh team to 10 men.
