#1 Best - Isco (Spain)
In-arguably, Isco was the best player on the field. With Spain's strategy to use the width unable to crack open the Iranian defence, the onus was on their central midfielders to do the task.
Isco continued his good run in a Spain shirt, and looks to be enjoying the free role assigned to him by the management.
The Real Madrid man was seen almost everywhere. Isco dropped deep, joined forces in the box and took on defenders at will. He completed 9 take-ons again Iran - the joint most ever achieved in a World Cup game.
He also had the most touches of the ball with 137 touches and attempted 103 passes with a 92 percent accuracy. Isco made Spain tick and was a joy to watch. The attacker is slowly growing to be Spain's most valuable player.
