MOSCOW (AP) Day 7 of the World Cup brought some clarity into the group standings, and Cristiano Ronaldo seized another opportunity to shine.
It was also a day when all three matches ended 1-0 - only the third time in World Cup history with three single-goal games in the same day.
Ronaldo scored his - and his team's - fourth goal of the tournament, leading Portugal past Morocco.
Spain joined its neighbor and rival atop Group B by beating Iran. The result eliminated Morocco, while Iran still has a chance to make the second round.
