Page's side still looked tired and Iran upped the pressure: Pouraliganji headed at Hennessey from a narrow-angle and then saw a shot blocked before the Wales keeper got his fingertips to Saeid Ezatolahi's low effort.

Hennessey was sent off after wiping out Taremi. The Iran striker was chasing a bouncing ball and got just a touch on the ball, meaning that instead of kicking the ball clear, the Wales keeper smacked into the forward.

Ward came on for the closing minutes and with the clearly exhausted Welsh diving in to block everything, it looked as if they would hold on, but there was still time for some incredible late drama.
