The Group G match between Belgium and Iran is under way at the Los Angeles stadium in Inglewood, on Sunday.
Romelu Lukaku forced Egypt into an own goal within seconds of entering the game and favored Belgium escaped with a 1-1 draw in the opening Group G match of the 2026 World Cup at Seattle Stadium. Lukaku’s equalizer came just 28 seconds after entering the game in the 66th minute and prevented Egypt from winning their first game in their fourth World Cup appearance.
Iran opened its politically charged World Cup by playing to a 2-2 draw with New Zealand, overcoming two deficits and getting the final goal from Mohammad Mohebbi in the 64th minute.
The FIFA World Cup began on June 10 and ends with the final on July 20.
