For the first time since 1954, the World Cup has not seen a goalless draw in its first 20 games.

Diego Costa's solitary strike in Spain's win over Iran on Wednesday ensured the 2018 World Cup has not seen a 0-0 draw during the first 20 games.

The last time this happened was the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland, which did not see a goalless draw during the 26-game tournament.
