Jam Jam online – This great and historic match ended with a result of 2-1 in favor of Iran.
Among all the memorable moments of that cup, the meeting of the Iranian national team against the United States at the “Zherlan” stadium in the city of Lyon, not just a football match, which was called the “game of the century” for Iranians. In the 40th minute of this historic match, when the game was followed by the all-round pressure of the Iranian players, Mehdi Mahdavikia sent the ball to the American penalty area with a precise cross from the right wing. In Hamid Stili, he rose from the pile of defenders’ legs and flew high into the air.
That spectacular header by Steely was more than a simple football technique, as if all the dreams of millions of Iranians were summed up in his forehead and the ball at that moment. The ball arced spectacularly through the hands of the American goalkeeper and into the net to shake Lyon Stadium. That goal was the beginning of one of the sweetest victories in the history of Iranian football.
Hamid Stili later described those magical moments and feelings after the goal many times. He says about the happy photo after his goal: “Every time I see this photo, it’s new to me. As the saying goes, I scream with all my might and pour out everything that is inside me. Since I was a child, I dreamed of playing in the World Cup and scoring goals. I used to watch the 78 World Cup matches in Argentina and I said, is it possible? It was a dream for me. I was not a goal scorer, but this dream became a reality. I thank God. I cried after the flower. You can see the feeling I had on my face. “After I saw the film of the game, I realized what I scored and what moves I made.”
