Last year, Isco had celebrated his goal with a unique gesture which grabbed a lot of eyeballs too. It was later revealed that a fan had met him prior to the match and asked him to celebrate with a certain gesture (sign language) as her parents were deaf.

The Spanish side won the match, though it was not a convincing win, given the firepower that the team possesses. The lone scored in the match wasn’t even a direct goal scored by Diego Costa, but a deflection of Iran defender’s shot which found the nets.
The evenly-poised match saw Spain emerge victorious in the night as they jumped to the joint-second position with Portugal, with only goal difference separating the two teams. The win would give a much-needed impetus to Spanish side for their campaign ahead in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
