✅ Pays out: Your chosen player scores the very first goal of the match in 90 minutes + stoppage time.

⚠️ Voids (stake returned): Match ends 0-0. Real possibility given O/U 1.5 and Beiranvand's form. You get your stake back. This is why FGS carries lower net risk in tight matches than it appears.

❌ Loses: A different player scores first. Own goals don't count — next scorer is FGS. Strategy: $10 Salah +475 + $10 Taremi +700 = $20 total. Wins $57.50 or $80 if either scores first. 0-0 returns $20. Only loses if Marmoush, Zico or another player opens the scoring.

JohnnyBet explicit: "Back Salah to score the first goal." ESPN FD confirms +475, Sportsgambler confirms +420. WhoScored: "Mohamed Salah has scored 68 international goals for Egypt, leaving him one short of the national record of 69 held by his current head coach." He scored in Egypt's 3-1 win over New Zealand and is deployed as Egypt's central attacking midfielder — taking all set pieces (6 corners/free kicks per RotoWire). Against Iran's 5-back that must eventually push forward, the counter-attack space is exactly where Salah fires. $10→$57.50.

ESPN FD confirms +700 FGS. Sports Interaction: "Mehdi Taremi leads his team in odds to score anytime at +300 — doing so would be a turning point for Iran as they look to reach their first knockout round in history out of seven World Cup participations." With 60 international goals (2nd only to Ali Daei in Iran history), Taremi is their entire attacking threat. Iran need a win — which means they MUST push forward. When they do, Taremi is their lone striker who has to take the chances. He scored twice at the 2022 World Cup. $10→$80, with 0-0 void returning your stake.

O/U is 1.5 goals. This is expected to be 1-1 or 1-0. FGS bets carry real void risk — but the void option (0-0 = stake returned) is your safety net.

Recommended: $10 Salah +475 + $10 Taremi +700 = $20 total exposure. Salah opens → $57.50 profit. Taremi opens → $80 profit. 0-0 → $20 returned. You only lose $20 total if Marmoush, Zico, or another player scores first — a reasonable risk for the coverage you get on the two most likely first scorers in this match.
