Two shots in final outing
Ghoddos had two shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 1-1 draw against Egypt.
Analysis: Ghoddos took two shots in the final outing of the tournament against Egypt and added one tackle, one clearance and one interception, but failed to make an impact as Iran's hopes of qualification ended in the final group-stage match. The midfielder finished the tournament without any attacking contribution, though he recorded seven tackles, four interceptions and eight clearances.
Tallies six clearances in draw
Ghoddos had three tackles (two won), six clearances and one interception in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Belgium.
Analysis: Ghoddos was barely able to attack throughout a difficult matchup, but his defensive contributions helped his team to achieve a valuable clean sheet in Sunday's clash. The midfielder is averaging 3.5 clearances, 3.0 tackles and 2.0 interceptions per game after the first two matches of the international tournament. He'll look to stay put as part of a central midfield duo alongside Saeid Ezatolahi in the next contest versus Egypt.
