Picking up the ball at the side of the pitch, Zadaliasghari regains his balance by putting a hand on the hoarding.

He then displays supreme dribbling skills to skip past one opponent and come in field, the ball looking as though it is glued to his feet.

Another Morocco player puts a foot in to try and pinch the ball, but there is no stopping the Iranian magician.
