Belgium and Iran played out a tense 0-0 draw in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group G clash at Los Angeles Stadium, leaving both sides still searching for their first victory.
Belgium controlled possession for long spells, with Kevin De Bruyne leading the attack, but were repeatedly denied by Iranian goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand. At the other end, Thibaut Courtois produced crucial saves to keep Iran out, including a superb stop from Hossein Kanaani. Belgium’s task became harder when defender Nathan Ngoy was sent off in the final 20 minutes.
Despite late pressure, neither side could find a breakthrough.
