Iran kicked off their World Cup in Los Angeles, drawing 2-2 with New Zealand in front of a crowd that consisted of both fans cheering them ‌on and Iranian Americans waving symbols of protest against the Tehran government.

The run-up to the match had been one of extraordinary drama off the pitch, with the team playing on U.S. soil barely 24 hours after a peace deal was announced to end the war that began when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran in February. Photographer Matthew Childs shot the game.
