Belgium and Iran played out a goalless draw in their 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage match in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The result leaves the European side in a strong position to advance despite failing to find the net, while Iran avoided defeat to keep its hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive.
The match was characterized by Belgian pressure, with Kevin De Bruyne, Leandro Trossard, and Maxim De Cuyper creating dangerous chances.
The combination play between Trossard and De Bruyne posed particular problems for the Iranian defense, but the visitors managed to hold firm for a point.
The outcome sets up a critical final group-stage match for both teams.
Iran remains in contention for a spot in the next round, while Belgium's failure to secure a win means their path to the knockout stages is not yet guaranteed, though they remain favorites to progress.
