The analysis is based on a computer simulation and should be interpreted as speculative rather than definitive.

Let's call it luck or correct prediction, it doesn't matter; Iran overcame Morocco 1-0, and now it's time for the European football giants. After a previous prediction using computer game simulations, I set up the Iran vs. Spain match in the same way to examine it once again before reality begins and to give wings to our pre-game guesses and digital imagination. The final result of this match was a 1-1 draw; a result that may be very optimistic and pleasant for the fans of the Iranian national team, but the way this result came about is concerning. Iran conceded Spain's goal from a penalty; in the 36th minute, due to a foul by Rezaian on Isco, the referee pointed to the penalty spot, and Iniesta finished it off. However, throughout the match, Iran's goalpost and Beiranvand's reactions saved several goal opportunities from Spain until in the 90th minute, in a counter-attack, Sardar Azmoun equalized the game. The Iranian national team was again successful in set pieces and counter-attacks, but weak in team passing and accuracy in final shots. On the other hand, the Spaniards, considering their high team and individual speed and the high ball-handling technique of their players, increased Iran's defensive mistakes and earned many fouls, creating numerous opportunities from set pieces, the most important of which was the penalty in the first half. Again, we emphasize that this information is merely a non-professional review based on a simulation of the match using computer games. We will wait for the game on Wednesday; perhaps this time the computer's prediction will come true, although the excitement and events in football are not similar to any computer logic.
