Iran 0 - 1 Spain Hard victory World cup 2018

Portugal's 3-3 draw can not be considered a disappointment for Spain. Coach Fernando Hierro kept the door wide, even with the lead. But to get closer to that goal, they need to get over Iran.

Asian players qualify with unbeaten performances, conceded only two goals in 10 games. They won their first Asian ticket to the 2018 World Cup, and also won the first victory in the finals. Although only through the Morocco thanks to the last-minute goal, Carlos Queiroz's army is still a difficult obstacle.

Coach Hierro certainly want to strengthen the defense, against opponents like Iran. But Spain also needs to be cautious before the "recovery code" from the opponent. Middle East team showed the ability to counterattack the middle of the first match.

The two teams have never met in the past, but Queiroz understands Spanish football with experience leading Real Madrid.
