What we learned
1. A overpass too far: With a place in a semi-finals adult for grabs, a vigour seemed to get to Iran, who seemed quiet by what was during interest rather than emboldened by their prior trailblazing exploits. Team Melli were a shade of a side that had achieved so brilliantly in a organisation theatre and Round of 16, unwell to give Spanish goalkeeper Alvaro Fernandez anything to worry about in a initial half. It was usually after slipping 3-0 down that a Asians began to lift a threat, with surrogate Saeid Karimi shortening a balance shortly after. Mohammad Sardari subsequently had a possibility to make it 3-2, usually to be denied by a glorious stop from Fernandez that put paid to a Iranians’ quip hopes.

2. Brazilians breached though still not beaten: Having left 376 mins though surrender after a Wesley possess idea had handed Spain a advantage in their opener, Brazil finally saw their net rippled again in a final eight. Jann-Fiete Arp’s 21st-minute chastisement – his fifth strike of a competition – not usually finished that shutout streak, though also took a Germany captain turn with France’s Amine Gouiri and Mali’s Lassana N’Diaye atop a idea charts and done Arp a initial antithesis actor to measure opposite a South Americans during India 2017.

3. Fan-tastic occasions: The Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium saved a best for last, with 28,436 supporters – a top assemblage available during a venue over a past few weeks – branch out to see Spain strut their things in a final compare to be staged in Kochi in this tournament. It was a identical story in a evening, when a close-to-capacity throng of 66,613 watched Germany and Brazil do conflict during a Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium.
