A pivotal Group G finale that could determine who advances alongside the group winners.

The Pharaohs will need their attacking flair to break down Iran's typically disciplined defensive structure.
Iran arrives with momentum and their trademark organizational excellence intact.

With both nations desperate for points, expect a tactical chess match where individual brilliance could prove the difference in Seattle's electric atmosphere.
Head-to-Head Record
These nations have met just twice in competitive fixtures, with Iran claiming a narrow 1-0 victory in their most recent encounter during the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. Their previous meeting came in a 1998 friendly that ended 2-1 to Egypt. Both matches were tight affairs decided by single goals, suggesting another close contest awaits.
