I have often stated that the most common score of top-level games is 1-0. This time around, that is not true. The most common result in the opening rounds was 2-0 (11 results) with 1-0 close behind (9).
The list of the leaders --
2-0 = 11
1-0 = 9
2-1 = 8
0-0 = 6
All other results occurred 3 times or fewer.
The extreme scores were 7-0 (Spain over Costa Rica) and 6-2 (England over Iran).
Of the 48 games, 10 were draws (0-0 6 times, 1-1 3 times and 3-3 in the Cameroon/Spain match).
