Watch Iran Vs. Portugal 2018 FIFA World Cup Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, How To Watch Online
Lightly regarded Iran, who entered the 2018 FIFA World Cup expected to finish in the basement of Group B, according to the BBC, are now looking at advancing to the knockout round if they can get by Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal in the final group stage match, a game that will live stream from Saransk, Russia, on Monday.
In fact, with three points in the Group B standings after a stunning, and more than a little lucky, win over Morocco, the Iranians have an outside chance of winning the group that contains not only Cristiano Ronaldo and his European champions, but also one of the tournament favorites in 2010 World Cup winner Spain. If the determined and spirited Iran side can pull off an upset victory over Portugal on Monday — and if Spain simultaneously draws with or even loses to Morocco — Iran moves to the knockout stage as the Group B winner.

In the United Kingdom, that start time will be 7 p.m. British Summer Time, while fans in the United States can log in to the live stream at 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, or 11 a.m. Pacific.

In their win over Morocco, Iran became the first team in a World Cup to win a match while going an entire half without a single shot on target. An own goal by Morocco’s Aziz Bouhaddouz gave Iran the victory, despite the Iranians holding possession of the ball for only 32 percent of the game’s playing time, according to Sky Sports.
Portugal and Iran have played each other only two times in their histories, according to the historical site 11v11. Portugal has won both matchups — including a 2-0 win in the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
A 21-year-old Portugal phenomenon named Cristiano Ronaldo scored his side’s second goal in that game. On Monday, Ronaldo will become the only player for either Portugal or Iran to have played the last time the two teams faced each other, 12 years ago, according to FIFA.com.
