The duel between Iran and New Zealand has left us a clear protagonist: Elijah Just. The Scottish Motherwell player has scored a doublet and has become the New Zealand team’s top scorer in the three World Cups he has played so far.
In a very distributed top 10 for both teams, the double allows Just to take first place in the Power Ranking with a score of 8.25. Behind, Chris Wood with 7.85. The Nottingham striker and captain of New Zealand has been the great reference and a ‘toothache’ for the Iranian defenders. The team’s leader left the game with two assists and becoming the player with the most appearances for the oceanic team.
The third place is occupied Ramin RezaeianIranian right-back. His goal and assist to Mohebi have allowed the Persians to take a valuable point of Los Angeles and place themselves on the podium behind the two New Zealand protagonists.
With this first place in today’s match, Just manages to momentarily get into the top 10 overall in tenth position behind players like Rodri, Pedri either Havertz. The list is led by the Australian Patrick Beach.
