Ramin Rezaeian brought the scores to parity in the 32nd minute, and Mohammad Mohebi netted the subsequent equaliser for Iran in the 64th minute.

Both teams pushed intensely for a goal from that point, with Iran slightly surpassing New Zealand in opportunities during the second half, finishing the game with a total of 17-14 shots, even though the All Whites had a higher accuracy with 8-4. All is level in Group G as Belgium and Egypt also faced a draw earlier in the day.
