Belgium and Iran battled to a goalless draw in their Group G clash at the FIFA World Cup 2026. Iran had a first-half goal ruled out by VAR and later enjoyed a numerical advantage after Belgium defender Nathan Ngoy was sent off for denying Mehdi Taremi a clear goalscoring opportunity. Despite playing against 10 men for the final stages, Iran could not break down a resilient Belgian defense led by Thibaut Courtois. Iranian goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand was named Player of the Match for his standout performance.
