Drama-laden draw leaves Iran in limbo as Egypt set up last-32 clash with Australia

“After review,” began the Polish referee Szymon Marciniak, those two words breaking the hearts of Iran after they thought they scrambled an unlikely 93rd-minute winner. Moments earlier, the 37-year-old Shoja Khalilzadeh fired in from the edge of the six-yard box, whipped off his No 4 shirt in double-quick time and slid on to his knees before being mobbed by his teammates and nestled at the bottom of a pile-on. One member of Iran’s backroom team collapsed onto his back on the turf amid the delirium. Another planted a kiss on Khalilzadeh’s forehead before the defender donned a pair of sunglasses given to him by one of the many substitutes who had swiftly emptied on to the pitch.But the joy was short-lived, Marciniak playing party-pooper after a VAR review showed Khalilzadeh offside after Mostafa Shobeir rushed from his goal to punch clear the free-kick from which Iran thought they had snatched victory. And the late drama did not stop there either. Seventeen seconds after the minimum of six minutes of second-half stoppage time, Yasser Ibrahim made a monumental block to repel Ramin Rezaeian’s shot after the ball squirted free and then six minutes and 53 seconds into added time Iran’s Saeid Ezatolahi sent a header against the crossbar. Shoubir, who was magnificent in the Egypt goal, moved his hands towards the ball but was beaten. Continue reading...

RIYADH — More than 1.3 million productive pomegranate trees in Saudi Arabia produce over 39,700 tons annually, meeting growing consumer demand during the summer season. The Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture said that pomegranates are among the Kingdom’s promising economic crops. As part of its “Sweet in Season” campaign, cultivation is concentrated in Asir, Makkah, Tabuk, Qassim, and Al-Baha, with varying production levels in other regions. The campaign aims to introduce consumers to the Kingdom’s diverse local fruits and their peak seasons throughout the year, promote national products, raise quality and safety standards, and improve the marketing of locally produced fruit during harvest seasons to support farmers and increase their financial returns. The ministry noted that Saudi pomegranates are known for their diverse varieties suited to the local environment, most notably Taif, Hijazi, Wonderful, and Eversweet. Locally, the fruits are consumed fresh and used to make juices, ice cream, and desserts. The ministry provides support and services to empower farmers, including agricultural guidance, technical support, financing facilities, and the adoption of modern farming technologies. It also helps strengthen supply and marketing chains through seasonal programs and local exhibitions, ensuring national products reach consumers quickly and easily.
