After a shaky defensive performance in the opening match, the Chinese team will now come up against a powerful striker—Sardar Azmoun, the new spearhead of the Persian attack.

Pellè started and played the full 90 minutes, while Cissé came on in the 75th minute, giving them about 15 minutes together on the pitch.
