Spain somehow get the better of Iran

Spain get the better of Iran in the Group fixture.

Diego Costa scored the goal and broke the stubborn Iran defence.

The Atletico Madrid front-man struck again as were Iran denied by VAR. Costa scored twice in Friday’s pulsating 3-3 draw with Portugal.

He eventually found the breakthrough when Ramin Rezaeian’s attempted clearance cannoned off his leg and into the bottom-left corner.

Former Chelsea superstar’s tidy goal helped Spain overcome a dogged Iran to secure a 1-0 win in their World Cup Group B clash in Kazan.

Iran thought they had levelled things up 10 minutes later, but Saeid Ezatolahi’s goal was ruled out by VAR for offside after he had wheeled away in celebration.

But the Iranian side produced a solid defensive masterclass to reduce Spain to nothing more than half chances during a hugely frustrating opening 53 minutes for the inaugural champions.

Once Iran fell behind they failed to reply. They produced a lot of chances at the end of the game, but Spain held on for a 1-0 win they certainly deserved.

The Iran vs Spain result of 1-0 also means there have been no 0-0 draws in any of the 20 games at the 2018 World Cup so far.
