The Iranian players are getting very aggressive toward the ref. I think it was the right decision to give a pen there, not that it matters as Ronaldo missed.
 
Lawro: 'Don't you just love football, the goalkeeper can't come for crosses but can't save penalties.'

Iran can play some really nice stuff! They’re playing a bit too aggressively off the ball though, can see a red card in this.
 
I don’t even think that was a yellow. Quite ridiculous. The Iranian was backing into him and he was just trying to get past him and to the ball.
 
If Morocco get a third, I wonder if Portugal might accidentally concede a penalty.
 
If the ref thinks Ronaldo did something wrong, striking the player then surely it’s a red, not a yellow. I thought it was neither, but very odd decision.

I think because of VAR the referee felt he had to do something. I don't think it was anything.
