Hundreds of fans missed the start of the World Cup match between England and Iran because of an issue with the ticketing app

The second match of the tournament was held at the stadium.

Fans were stuck outside with the app at the start of the game.

Fans were trying to get into the stadium and there were a lot of people in the queue.

The football associations of seven European nations decided not to wear the OneLove armband because of the risk of players being booked.

Iran's national anthem was jeered by the crowd at the stadium.

More than 400 anti-government protesters have been killed in Iran, according to human rights activists.
