Belgium 0 - 0 Iran

FULL-TIME!

It's a 0-0 draw, and Belgium's World Cup woes continue.

They are now winless in their last four tournament games, attempting 23 shots today without success.

Beiranvand was once again the standout performer for Iran, making seven saves, including a remarkable reflex stop at point-blank range to deny De Cuyper early in the second half.

Belgium dominated territorially and statistically with 70% possession, 622 passes, and 1.82 xG.

However, Iran, despite only 0.63 xG, still fashioned a number of dangerous opportunities and dominated the set piece battle.

Taremi thought he had opened the scoring after 25 minutes, turning and finishing past Courtois expertly after Hajisafi's clever reverse pass from a free-kick.

Both Kanani and Taremi forced Courtois into sharp saves in either half with powerfully struck volleys from long throws that Belgium struggled to deal with.

The key moment came after 66 minutes when Ngoy's momentary lapse of concentration surrendered the ball to Taremi, and the Belgian brought the striker down when he was clear through on goal, reducing the Red Devils to 10 men for the final 25 minutes.

It was actually Belgium, and De Cuyper, who went closest after that, with a powerful side-footed effort repelled and collected by the impassable Beiranvand.

Iran will be delighted with a second successive point, only the third goalless draw of the tournament so far, while pressure continues to mount on Belgium and Rudi Garcia.

Iran now leads Group G with Belgium second, both on two points heading into the final matchday next weekend, with all four teams still able to top the group.

New Zealand and Egypt play later today in Vancouver.

Belgium 0 - 0 Iran

FULL-TIME!

It's all over here at Los Angeles Stadium, as Belgium and Iran play to a 0-0 draw in the FIFA World Cup.

90+4'

Belgium 0 - 0 Iran

THAT WAS CLOSER!

Just seconds later, Lukebakio cuts inside from the other side, bending a shot with his left foot that sails mere centimeters past Beiranvand's upright.

That feels like the last chance.

90+4'

Belgium 0 - 0 Iran

And that might be it!

Substitute Fernandez-Pardo skips inside onto his right foot at the edge of the box, finding an inviting angle, but his shot is rash and balloons over the bar.

90+3'

Belgium 0 - 0 Iran

Castagne sends a cross in from the right, and Mechele rises highest for the header but sends it high and wide of Beiranvand's goal.

Belgium may only get one more look at goal here.

90+1'

Belgium 0 - 0 Iran

We're into five minutes of injury time in Los Angeles.

Both teams are pushing hard, leaving wide-open spaces in the midfield.

90'

Belgium 0 - 0 Iran

Belgium finds another burst of energy in the final five minutes.

Lukebakio curls a ball toward Tielemans, who jumps under pressure from an Iranian defender but lacks the height or stature to create any danger.

DE CUYPER AGAIN!

The Brighton man has had three excellent chances tonight.

His latest comes from a pullback on the right flank that makes its way to De Cuyper.

He opens his body and tries to pass it firmly into the far corner, but Beiranvand is alive and down sharply to save and prevent any rebound.

84'

Belgium 0 - 0 Iran

De Bruyne sends a deep free kick into the six-yard box.

Beiranvand punches it clear, but the ball drops invitingly for Tielemans at the edge of the box.

He gets it all wrong, and Iran nearly break.

We've seen Tielemans bury those from that range many times before.
