Goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand delivered a commanding performance, making seven saves to help Iran hold Belgium to a 0-0 draw at the World Cup on Sunday.

Belgium, who finished the match with ten men, were unable to find a way through an inspired Beiranvand, whose shot-stopping proved decisive in denying the Belgians all three points.

The result leaves both sides with a point apiece from the contest, with Beiranvand's display standing out as the defining moment of a tightly contested encounter.
