On a World Cup afternoon where numbers should have told one story, they told another entirely. Belgium, armed with a man advantage and a tournament's worth of frustrated ambition, could not breach the wall that Iran's goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand built in front of his goal. The 0-0 draw leaves Belgium still searching for their first victory while Iran, a nation that has never advanced past the group stage, clings to a historic possibility — proof that in football, as in life, individual brilliance can rewrite the logic of circumstance.
