Belgium were held to a goalless draw by Iran in their World Cup 2026 Group G match in Los Angeles on Sunday. The 2018 third-place finishers have only two points from two games in North America and need a win against New Zealand in their final group match next Friday to secure a spot in the last 32. The match turned frustrating for Belgium in the second half when defender Nathan Ngoy was shown a red card for a last-man foul.
