Belgium and Iran played out a goalless draw in Group G on June 21, with the match disrupted by a first-half red card for Belgium midfielder Nathan Ngoy, who received a straight dismissal for fouling Iran striker Mehdi Taremi.
Iran created a notable VAR incident when Taremi scored in the second half, only to have the goal overturned for offside—a decision reminiscent of Wout Weghorst's 2022 World Cup effort against Argentina. Despite being reduced to ten men, Belgium created multiple chances but failed to convert.
The draw leaves both teams on two points after two Group G matches. Belgium faces New Zealand on June 27 while Iran plays Egypt.
