Algeria, Austria Advance with Draw as Iran Crash Out of World Cup


Austria and Algeria drew 3-3 on Saturday to both move into the last 32 of the World Cup in a result that means Iran are eliminated in the group phase.

The Austrians equalised six minutes into added time through Sasa Kalajdzic to save their World Cup skins, but the Iranians can no longer be one of the best third-placed teams and go out.
