New miscalculation for Belgium - drama awaits in World Cup group stage

Red card and a goalless draw. Belgium suffered another setback after a 0–0 draw against Iran. Now drama awaits in the World Cup group stage.

Clear scoring chances were conspicuously absent when Belgium faced Iran in the second group-stage match in Los Angeles.

Belgium came closest through Kevin de Bruyne in the second half, but Alireza Beiranvand made a fine save.

Minutes later, central defender Nathan Ngoy was shown a red card after pulling down Mehdi Taremi as the last man.

The final score was 0–0, meaning an upset is possible in the final round. Iran and Belgium have two points each after two matches. Egypt and New Zealand, who meet on Monday night, local time in Sweden, have one point.
