#ESP win their first game of the 2018 #WorldCup at the second attempt.
2010 was the last time they were made to wait until the second group game for their first victory...
...Remember how that tournament ended? 🏆 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DgKNi2FW4AMnX70.jpgby Squawka Football via twitter 6/20/2018 7:55:21 PM -
Three games, three 1-0 scorelines...
A tight day, but #POR #URU and #ESP all do what they need to do.

Narrow 1-0 win by #Spain , despite dominating possession. Tough loss for #Iran , who defended well for so long and only conceded on unfortunate ricochet. They also actually looked dangerous and created good chances when they went forward more at the end. #IRNESP #IRN #ESP #WorldCup https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DgKOqaaVQAAQ_5z.png
