Portugal 2, Iran 0

Just watched this game, but never really got into it. Kinda like Iran, who seemed to spend much of this match watching Portugal play, never really getting into the game.

Not that Portugal was especially exciting. Christian Ronaldo is quite the fancy-pants, but his first World Cup tally came not as a result of his slick one-on-one play, but rather a penalty earned by Luis Figo. Underwhelming performance, but enough to secure passage for Portugal to the second round and for Iran back home.

Goal scorers:

Anderson Deco (63'), Portugal (1-0)
Cristiano Ronaldo (pen 80'), Portugal (2-0)
