Iran Hold 10-Man Belgium to a Goalless Draw and Keep Knockout Hopes Alive
Iran produced a disciplined display to frustrate Belgium in a 0-0 draw in their latest World Cup Group G encounter in Los Angeles. Goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand was the hero with several key saves, while Iran’s organised defence stood firm after Belgium were reduced to ten men in the 66th minute when Nathan Ngoy received a straight red for a foul on Mehdi Taremi. Despite enjoying most of the possession and threatening through players like Youri Tielemans and Maxim De Cuyper, Belgium could not break down Iran’s resilience. The point leaves Iran on course for their first ever knockout-round appearance, while Belgium’s search for a first win continues.
