The iconic Welsh Red Wall was crestfallen after their World Cup ecstasy turned to agony.
Wales have some of the most fervent support at this showpiece in Qatar but their team failed to deliver and are now on the brink of a group stage exit. Rob Page's side wilted in the blistering Qatar heat and finally succumbed in heartbreaking fashion against deserving winners Iran.
Revitalised Iran looked a far more accomplished side throughout and substitute Roozbeh Chesmi delivered the gut-wrenching blow with a powerful strike nine minutes into stoppage time. And the relentless Ramin Rezaeian then piled on the misery to leave Wales on the brink.
