What a crazy, crazy game that was. Spain go through as group winners, with Portugal just about through to the last 16. The referee lost control in the second half. VAR hasn't been used very well. Ronaldo might have been shown a red card and there were questions over the penalty kick as well. Wow.

FULL TIME: Iran 1-1 Portugal. PORTUGAL GO THROUGH!
95'
This game has descended into utter madness. Iran are giving this a real go now, but is it too late for them? The game has finished between Morocco and Spain. It's all down to this now.

THAT WAS THE CHANCE! Oh my goodness! That was the opportunity for Iran to score a winner and qualify for the last 16! Ebrahimi was played through, the angle was tight, but he could only find the side-netting!
93'
SPAIN HAVE EQUALISED! Well, combined with the goal for Iran, Spain have also scored an equaliser through Aspas and now Spain will finish top of Group B if things stay this way!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Iran 1 (93 mins - Karim Ansarifard) Portugal 2. What a penalty kick! Iran have given themselves a chance in this match. Ansarifard steps up to the 12 yard mark and puts his effort into the top corner of the Portuguese net.

PENALTY KICK TO IRAN! Sensationally, Iran have now been awarded a penalty kick for a handball.
90'
VAR REVIEW! Well, this is very confusing. There wasn't even a consideration of a penalty at the time, but now the referee, after a solid two minutes, has been told to have a look at this.
89'
Queiroz is very nearly on the pitch again and Pepe is actually pointing this out to the referee. The referee has lost control of this game in the second half. It's been madness.
88'
87'
Fonte was going to head up from the back as Portugal won a freekick, but Santos told the former Southampton centre back to stay in his own half. That tells you a lot about the approach now.
86'
This could be the commentator's curse for Portugal, but I just don't see how Iran can mount a comeback here. They look finished. They just can't get out of their own half.
85'
The Iran players are still complaining that Ronaldo wasn't shown a red card for that incident a few moments ago. The yellow card seemed silly. Either it's an elbow or not.
84'
There's still only one goal in this match, but there's no real suggestion that Iran can claw back that difference. They are camped deep inside their own half, forced to defend.

Ronaldo gets away with one. His nervous smile suggests he knew he got away with one there.

While we're waiting for the VAR decision to be made on this Ronaldo incident, there's some news from the other game... Morocco have taken the lead once more against Spain! Incredible.
81'
RONALDO VAR! Well, this could be a big blow to Portugal. Iran believe that Ronaldo threw an elbow at one of their players. The referee has been summoned to look at the VAR screen.

About 10 minutes there was the feeling that this match was coming to a climax, but Iran are sitting back again, allowing Portugal to have the ball. Will they come out and attack?
78'
The scoreline in the game between Morocco and Spain is still tied at 1-1. With this result in mind, Portugal would finish top of Group B and face Russia in the round of 16.
