Belgium drew 0-0 with Iran in their second match at the 2026 World Cup, complicating their situation in the group. Despite dominating ball possession (81%) and creating clear chances, especially with Kevin De Bruyne, the Red Devils were unable to break through the Iranian defense. Romelu Lukaku, visibly out of rhythm, wasted crucial opportunities.
On the other side, Thibaut Courtois was decisive, making important saves to avoid a defeat that would have been disastrous. The result leaves Belgium in a delicate situation, with just two points from two games. Rudi Garcia's team now depends on a victory in the last round and a combination of results to advance.
