The afternoon matches on Monday could be wild: Spain and Portugal lead the group, but Iran could steal one of those spots if it can defeat Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portugal. In a wild scenario, Portugal could lose today and still go through if Spain, which plays Morocco, loses by a wider margin.
Confused? Don’t sweat it, Portugal will make easy work of Iran, which has yet to score in the tournament (an own goal gave it a win vs. Morocco) and hasn’t had a shot on target in the last 135-plus minutes of play. Even if Iran contains Ronaldo, Portugal has enough weapons to get a goal — and that could be enough.
