Belgium Misfire as Iran Claim Hard-Fought 0-0 Draw
Full-Time: Belgium 0-0 IR Iran
The points are shared in a tense Group G encounter as Belgium and Iran play out a goalless draw. Belgium controlled large spells of the first half and created the better chances, but were repeatedly denied by an outstanding Alireza Beiranvand.
Iran grew stronger after the break and looked the more likely winners following Nathan Ngoy’s red card in the 66th minute. Both goalkeepers were superb, with Thibaut Courtois making several crucial saves to keep Belgium level, while Beiranvand produced a string of stops to frustrate the Red Devils.
