Portugal vs Iran

Ronaldo made sure of victory with 10 minutes to go, scoring the second goal from the penalty spot.

It was the first time Portugal had got through the first round since 1966, when, inspired by Eusebio, they reached the semi-finals before losing 2-1 to eventual winners and hosts England.

Iran were eliminated after suffering their second successive defeat.
