World Cup Group B, Kazan Arena - Spain 1 (Costa 54') Iran 0
Diego Costa was on target as Spain secured a crucial 1-0 win over Iran in their World Cup Group B clash in Kazan.
The Spain striker got on the scoresheet again from close range as their doughty opponents saw their efforts prove to be in vain.
Iran had a goal disallowed for offside via VAR just after the hour mark, just as their noisy fans celebrated wildly in the stands.
It's a hugely valuable win for Spain after their thrilling 3-3 draw against Portugal earlier in the group.
