<\/a>Belgium 0 – 0 Iran <\/p>\n

Hydration break: Rudy Garcia will need to do some serious re organising in the short relief he has after the red card. <\/p>\n

Iran will now be more tenacious than ever and be buoyed by this new opportunity. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Red Card! Belgium 0 – 0 Iran <\/p>\n

67 mins: Ngoy is removed from proceedings after under hitting a pass back to Courtois and then grabbing the shirt of the chasing Iranian player – denying a clear goal scoring opportunity.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Belgium 0 – 0 Iran<\/p>\n

65 mins: A half chance from an Iran corner as Khalilzadeh rose for a header that hit the side netting<\/p>\n

<\/a>Belgium 0 – 0 Iran <\/p>\n

60 mins: Belgium have their best chance of the game so far as De Bruyne goes deep and crosses it in to Lukaku who can\u2019t get to it, and De Cuyper has a second chance at it, but it is well saved by the keeper. <\/p>\n

Nothing will go for Belgium.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Belgium 0 – 0 Iran<\/p>\n

53 mins: Courtois makes another fantastic save to keep Belgium alive after a decent effort from No.9 Taremi. <\/p>\n

Belgium have had more shots so far but Iran have had the more clear cut chances <\/p>\n

<\/a>Belgium 0 – 0 Iran<\/p>\n

52 mins: Khalilzadeh heroically blocks a De Cuyper shot in a region where he will be feeling that for a while. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Belgium 0 – 0 Iran <\/p>\n

50 mins: Saelemaekers almost hit the target with a great volley at a tight angle just beyond the back post of a long corner from De Bruyne.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Belgium 0 – 0 Iran <\/p>\n

47 mins: Lovely bit of skill from Trossard to wrong foot the defender on the edge of the box and feed De Bruyne who has his shot blocked and out for a throw-in<\/p>\n

James Hicken21 June 2026 21:13<\/p>\n

<\/a>Belgium 0 – 0 Iran<\/p>\n

46 mins: We are back underway and we will be hoping for a bit more action on both sides in the next 45 mins. <\/p>\n

Iran make the only change as Hardani makes way for Jahanbakhsh<\/p>\n

<\/a>Half-Time: Is Lukaku a problem?<\/p>\n

Having not started a game for club or country this season, it\u2019s not a surprise to see that he is off the pace. Lukaku hasn\u2019t had the pace to chase down some passes or the timing to be there to put his head on a cross and we haven\u2019t really seen him use his physicality to any effect yet. <\/p>\n

Has he earned a second-half appearance? <\/p>\n
