Match Summary
Belgium and Iran cancelled each other out in a tense, tactical 0-0 draw to open their World Cup 2026 campaigns in Group G. In a first half of few opportunities, Belgium dominated possession but struggled to break down a well-drilled Iran defence. Yannick Carrasco came closest for the Red Devils, flashing a shot just wide from the edge of the box, while Iran rarely threatened on their sporadic forays forward.
The pattern continued after the interval, with Belgium probing patiently but lacking incision in the final third. Kevin De Bruyne, so often the creative spark, was kept quiet by Iran's disciplined midfield. Iran grew in ambition as the half wore on and almost snatched a late winner through Mehdi Taremi, whose low shot was smartly saved by Thibaut Courtois.
In the end, neither side could find the moment of quality to break the deadlock. The result leaves Group G finely poised, with Belgium and Iran both on one point ahead of the matches against Germany and Japan. While the Belgians will feel they did enough to edge it, Iran will be satisfied with a hard-earned point against the world's No. 2-ranked team.
