Iran’s players chose not to sing the country’s national anthem before kick-off, in an apparent show of support for protesters back home.

Widespread demonstrations have followed the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who died in the custody of Iran’s morality police in September after being detained for alleged violations of the country’s strict dress code.

Iranian state television did not show footage of the players lined up for the start of the match.
