fair play will be used to decide who will top the group if there's a tiebreaker. In the case of Spain and Portugal, Spain has 2 yellow cards while Portugal has 6 yellow cards.

in the pecking order. After goal difference I think is goal for. Spain scored 6 while Portugal scored 5 in total



According to BBC

Fifa World Cup group ranking rules (in order)

1. Greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned
2. Goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned
3. Greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned
Failing that...
4. Greater number of points obtained in the fair play conduct of the teams based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches (read the full explanation here)
And finally...
5. Drawing of lots by the Fifa organising committee

Spain scored more goals. If they had both scored the exact number of goals, have same goal difference and have same points, fair play would have been used
