Now, that was an exciting conclusion to Group B of the FIFA World Cup! Spain and Portugal narrowly made it through to the next stage, with Iran and Morocco putting up a good fight.
La Roja and A Seleccao Das Quinas survived quite a scare, especially the Portuguese side, which came inches close to being eliminated due to a shot by an Iranian striker.
There were 15 goals scored in this Group, with Cristiano Ronaldo claiming top honors with four. Diego Costa came in close with three.
Here are other stats and highlights from the teams involved in this exciting World Cup group.
