BBC • • sports
Key Points:
- The Belgium vs. Iran match remains goalless, with Iran's Mehdi Taremi drawing criticism for a handball that led to a free-kick against his team.
- Kevin De Bruyne has been repeatedly fouled, expressing visible frustration with the referee's leniency, though no bookings have been issued yet.
- Iran's defense is solid but their offensive play is described as rigid, limiting their ability to build sustained attacks despite having created the two most dangerous moments of the game.
- A well-executed Iranian goal was disallowed by VAR for a marginal offside, which may have shifted the momentum and made Belgium more cautious.
- The match has seen multiple hydration breaks, which have been met with boos from the crowd and are viewed by some coaches more as tactical pauses than necessary rest periods.
