Here’s is the complete action pack
round of day 7!!
The first game of the day was Portugal vs Morocco.
Portugal came into the game on the back of that
entertaining 3-3 draw against Spain, while Morocco
were beaten 1-0 by Iran last week.
The Portuguese emerged victorious after a hard
fought match, the match ended 1-0. Cristiano
Ronaldo scoring the only goal of the match at the
4rth minute of the match and that takes his goal tally
to 4 for the tournament.
Morocco, who had a real go at the Luzhniki Stadium
but failed to convert their chances, are pointless
having also lost 1-0 to Iran and cannot progress
to the second round.
Despite their battling display, Morocco will rue the
unforgivable defending that made all their subsequent
good work irrelevant.
The 2nd game of the day was Uruguay vs Saudi
Arabia. Uruguay clinched a goal against Egypt in
the 89th minute in their previous game and sealed
crucial 3 points. While Saudi Arabia lost 5-0 against
the host nation Russia.
Uruguay won the match 1-0, Saudi Arabia crashed
out of the world cup
Saudi Arabia had all the possession but couldn't break
through the Uruguayan defence. Uruguayan defence
was resilient and up to the task.
Luis Suarez broke the deadlock after sloppy play from
the Saudi Arabia's goalkeeper , misjugding the flight of
the ball from a corner left the goal unmarked, Suarez
volley it home into the bottom corner.
Uruguay qualify for the round of 16 along with Russia.
Uruguay and Russia will fight it out for the top spot in
group A on match day 3.
The last game of the day was played between Iran and
Spain. Iran won their previous match against Morocco.
Spain were held by portugal in their previous match.
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.
Group B is wide open as any of the three teams ( Spain,
Portugal, Iran) can qualify for the next round. Portugal
will be up against Iran, For Iran it's a must win game
for Portugal a draw would be enough for them to
qualify for the next round. Spain will be up against

stern test in match day 3. Spain has to at least draw to
qualify for the next round.
