Cristiano Ronaldo is holding the first position with four goals scored.
The referee counted a goal by the Iranian halfback Sayed Ezzatollahi in the 62nd minute but used the visual assistant referee [VAR] system and canceled it, since Ezzatollahi was offside.
The Spaniards have scored four points and are sharing the first position in Group B with the Portuguese who won a game vs Morocco 1-0 earlier on Wednesday. Iran occupies the third position while the Moroccans have not scored a single point and will not get into the knockouts.
