Following their win over Wales, a draw would have seen Iran through to the last 16 stage, but a Christian Pulisic strike late in the first half proved to be enough for the US to qualify as runners-up in Group B behind England.
With Rezaeian in tears at the end of the game, Robinson made his way over to shake his hand. Seeing how upset he was, the 25-year-old embraced him and was seen whispering a few words of support into his ear.

Iran’s appearance at the World Cup has also come against the backdrop of unrest in their homeland which has generated headlines across the globe.
Protests in Tehran erupted in September when 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in custody in the Iranian capital after being detained by morality police for allegedly breaking strict hijab rules.
Similar protests broke out in other towns and cities across the country, prompting a violent crackdown from authorities which, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency, has resulted in the deaths of 341 protestors since September 17.
