Belgium

Belgium and Iran played out a goalless draw in Group G defined by Alireza Beiranvand’s seven saves and Nathan Ngoy’s 66th-minute red card. Despite Belgium controlling possession, Iran’s compact defensive structure and goalkeeper heroics secured a crucial point, leaving both teams on two points with zero goal difference. The result sets up a tense final matchday where Belgium face New Zealand and Iran meet Egypt, with the expanded 48-team format keeping knockout stage hopes mathematically alive for both sides.
