- Belgium were held to a 0-0 draw by Iran while playing with 10 men, leaving the side still without a win in the competition.
- Iran goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand produced a string of impressive saves to earn a hard-fought point and keep alive Iran's hopes of reaching the World Cup knockout stage for the first time.
Why it matters: Both sides leave with a point but for very different stakes — Belgium stay winless heading into the group stage's remaining fixtures, while Iran's first point keeps their bid for a maiden World Cup knockout-stage appearance alive.
