FT: Iran 4-0 India

90+2' Gurpreet with another save! This could easily have been double digits if not for the Indian keeper

90' 3 minutes of added time

89' Iran have a corner. Will they make this worse?

85' Udanta has been stretchered off after colliding with a defender

85' In other news, Oman have scored! All India have to do is score 4 goals. Easy.

82' Iranian legend Jalal Hosseini comes on with a guard of honour and takes the armband. This is his 100th appearance

81' India have a corner, but Udanta's deep delivery to Khabra is headed well wide

78' Iran 4-0 India. This is getting embarrassing, Jahan Baksh bursts into the box from the right wing, easily beating Narayan Das and slots the ball across Gurpreet into the bottom corner.

73' Gurpreet makes ANOTHER save from Azmoun. The duo have had a great battle tonight

70' Almost! India nearly have a consolation as Jhingan's header flies narrowly wide of goal

That goal surely kills any hopes India had of making it to the AFC Asian Cup

66' Haji Safi scores again as his shot flies into the net. Iran 3-0 India

65' PENALTY TO IRAN. Narayan Das with the foul

62' GOAL Game over. Azmoun doubles Iran's lead and kills India's hopes as he scores with his thigh from an Haji Safi corner. Iran 2-0 India

Bad news for India from the other game in the group, as if Oman draw, India will need to win this game.

60' SAVE! Gurpreet makes another save after Azmoun plays in Taremi on goal with a wonderful through ball

58' Pronay Halder is fouled, and India have a free-kick, which comes to nothing

55' SAVE! Gurpreet denies Iran yet again, as the Indian keeper keeps the scoreline to a respectable 1-0

53' Iran have another corner. They must be setting some sort of record, surely?

49' Almost! Udanta Singh works his way towards goal, but his cross/shot is collected by the keeper with Jeje lurking. Can India steal an unlikely equalizer? Later, Azmoun curls a shot just wide and argues with Pritam Kotal

46' Iran have another corner, but head the ball over

46' Iran get the second half underway

42' Jahan Baksh's corners have wreaked havoc with the Indian defence and his latest delivery evades all the Indian defenders, but Iran are unable to capitalize

36' Harmanjot Singh Khabra comes on for an injured Bikash Jairu

35' SAVE! Gurpreet makes another save with his legs as Azmoun is through on goal

34' The Iranian captain sent Gurpreet the wrong way as he confidently stroked the ball into the bottom right corner. India have it all to do

33' Iran 1-0 India Haji Safi SCORES

32' PENALTY TO IRAN. Ezatolahi is caught by a high boot from Bikash Jairu after a corner isn't cleared. Foolish from the Indian defender

31' SAVE! Jahan Baksh's delivery is headed towards goal by Ezatolahi, but Gurpreet makes the save

29' Nearly! Ramin Rezaeian almost catches out Gurpreet at his near post with a low drive from the right side of the box. Iran have another corner.

23' Iran break down the right yet again, but the cross is eventually collected by Gurpreet in goal after Jahan Baksh's weak header

22' Ezatolahi screams in agony as Pronay Halder catches him with a late tackle, but the referee waves play on
