World Cup history made! For the first time, Asian teams remain unbeaten after six opening matches, outperforming European and American squads, with Iran and Japan each coming from behind twice each.

In a key Group G match of the World Cup that concluded on June 16 Beijing time, Iran's men's football team twice fell behind and twice equalized, eventually drawing 2-2 with New Zealand. Thus, the six Asian teams that have debuted remain unbeaten in their first matches.

In this World Cup, for obvious reasons, Iran encountered difficulties that greatly affected the state of its players.

In this game against physically strong New Zealand, who boast strong physiques, Iran fell behind twice in the first and second halves. However, the "Persian Lions" still fought hard to equalize both times, managing to snatch a point.

With Iran drawing New Zealand, all six Asian teams that have played so far are unbeaten, achieving 2 wins and 4 draws—an impressive points ratio that completely surpasses the strong football continents like Europe and South America.

The two victories were South Korea's 2-1 comeback against the Czech Republic and Australia's 2-0 upset over Turkey. The four draws were also thrilling, with both Iran and Japan twice falling behind before equalizing against New Zealand and the Netherlands respectively.

Qatar, meanwhile, scored a last-minute equalizer against European powerhouse Switzerland, and Saudi Arabia once led Uruguay for a significant period, ending with a 1-1 draw against a stronger opponent.

It can be said that Asian teams have made history in this World Cup, as no Asian team had ever maintained an unbeaten record after six opening matches before.

Next up, three more Asian teams—Jordan, Iraq, and Uzbekistan—will take the stage. It remains to be seen whether they can uphold the Asian teams' unbeaten streak.
