Iran beat Mali in final warm-up before heading to World Cup

Iran beat Mali 2-0 in a friendly in Antalya, Turkey, with goals from Saeid Ezatolahi and Ramin Rezaeian. The team will head to Tijuana, Mexico this weekend for their World Cup base after receiving Mexican visas. However, US visas to enter the United States for group matches have not yet been issued, causing concern. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there was 'no problem' with the squad entering the country, but officials with ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps will not be allowed.
