Belgium and Iran played to a 0-0 draw in a World Cup Group G match, leaving Belgium’s chances of advancing to the knockout stage in jeopardy. Despite dominating possession, Belgium failed to convert opportunities and were reduced to ten men after a second-half red card. Iran proved a resilient opponent, creating the clearer chances and having a goal disallowed by VAR for offside. The result marks the third consecutive draw in Group G, leaving all teams with two points apiece. Belgium will face New Zealand in their final group game, while Iran will play Egypt, both needing a result to progress. Protests against the Iranian regime continued outside the stadium, with fans also voicing dissent during the Iranian national anthem. Travel restrictions for the Iranian team, stemming from visa issues, are reportedly being eased ahead of their next match.
