Another game which looks like a hopeless mismatch, but it hasn’t really been working out that way so far. In fact only Russia and Belgium have won games by more than two goals so far.
Inevitable one way traffic but Spain finding it hard to break down weaker opponents, a bit of a theme at this tournament.
Iran almost upset the paella cart with a shot inches wide but wouldn’t you know it Spain went in front minutes later although it took a fortuitous bounce off Costa’s leg to do it. Iran then thought they had equalised but VAR yet again did its job and confirmed offside. Clive Tyldesley spent ages celebrating until he realised, then declared they were looking at a handball, then when he discovered it was offside reminded us that the assistants don’t flag if it is close despite the flag clearly going up instantly. Brilliant work there Clive.
At least all this opened up the game and we got some rwo-way traffic for a change, with a couple,of decent chances for an equaliser. Spain win but not looking like champions.
