Was this not called offsides? Looks like the offensive guy was well past the defender by the time the ball got there.

Please correct my understanding of offsides if this seems off.

*Edit: My understanding of offsides is wrong, thanks all!

Haven’t seen the goal but offside is at the time of the passer contact, not when the pass reaches the receiving player.

Yea as the other commenter said, you look at the exact time the pass is made, not the time when he receives the pass.

Here's that exact time. As you can see, he's (the US player farthest top) a few feet behind the last Iranian defender.
