Iran and New Zealand meet at the World Cup for the very first time.
Elijah Just is the first player ever to score more than once in a single World Cup match for New Zealand.
New Zealand are unbeaten in their last 4 World Cup group-stage matches (4 draws).
New Zealand have still never won a match at the World Cup — 7 games without a victory (4 draws, 3 defeats). Only Honduras (9) and Egypt (8) have endured a longer wait.
