After the match between Spain and Iran, Real Madrid (6) and Atletico (5) are leading the table of top scorers at this summer's World Cup.

'Los Blancos' are currently topping the club charts in Russia largely in part to forward Cristiano Ronaldo who has scored four goals for Portugal in just two group games.

Luka Modric's penalty against Nigeria and Nacho's wonder strike against Portugal are the other two which brings the club's grand total to six so far.

Atletico Madrid are just one behind though, with striker Diego Costa netting three goals in his two group games.

Jose Gimenez's last-minute winner against Egypt and Antoine Griezmann's penalty against Australia launch their total to five.

Rounding off the podium in third is Villarreal who can thank Russia's Denis Cheryshev for their positioning. His three goals in two group games gives them a solid foundation going into the rest of the tournament.

Manchester United would have been joining them on three (Romelu Lukaku, 2) if Paul Pogba's deflected winner against the 'Socceroos' wasn't changed to an own goal by FIFA.
