US leads 1-0 at the half, England-Wales remains scoreless
The U.S. leads 1-0 against Iran at the half in a game they must win to advance to the knockout stage of the tournament.
Star striker Christian Pulisic scored the first goal of the game in the 38th minute on an assist from Sergiño Dest. Dest headed a ball to Pulisic, who was crashing into the box and knocked the ball into the bottom left corner of the net before crashing into Iran's goalkeeper.

The U.S. came very close to making it 2-0 in stoppage time of the first half when Timothy Weah beat the keeper one-on-one. However, Weah, who had scored the only goal in the tournament so far for the U.S., was called offside.
In the other Group B match, England and Wales remain tied at 0-0. England just needs a draw to advance to the knockout stage.
