Iran strolling through this group at the moment, but a great chance here for Portugal to catch them up. Vicki Sparks a rare female voice on commentary, although she does have the severe handicap of Martin Keown alongside her. Although even he is now admitting “VAR has improved things”.
Ronaldo soon displayed his under-rated heading ability to become the all-time leading European scorer in international football, but Morocco well in the game and regularly threatening.
The pattern continued in the second half, with Patricio producing a great save to preserve the lead, and you just knew Keown’s next sentence would contain the words “Gordon”and “Banks”. Because no other ‘keeper has made a good diving save since 1970.
In fact the Moroccans became more and more dominant but just didn’t have enough guile to break the Portuguese down. So Iran knocked off the top and Morocco the first team out.
