Last night at the 2026 World Cup there were several draws: Iran drew New Zealand in a politically tense match. Belgium struggled before picking up a point against Egypt. Spain stumbles with Cape Verde and Uruguay are tied with Saudi Arabia. This made the day a total of four ties for the second time in tournament history.
Iran vs. New Zealand is a match in which football is marred by the political climate. After FIFA's decision to ban the use of Iran's pre-revolutionary flag remains in effect. But many Iranian fans wore flags at Los Angeles Stadium, while the Iranian national anthem was booed by spectators. This all happened just hours after the announcement of the peace agreement between the United States and the United States. with Iran by the President of the United States At that time, on the world stage, on the same day in the racetrack itself. New Zealand used the combination of Chris Wood's possession and Elijiah Just's double to score, but Ramin Rezaeyan and Iran's Muhammad Mohebi scored to put the team back on the scoresheet. It ended with a well-deserved share of points for both teams and is one of the highlight matches of the tournament so far.
Elsewhere in the group, Belgium faced a difficult opening goal when Egypt scored from Imam Ashour, a goal that many are citing as one of the best goals of the tournament. Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush were temporarily overshadowed. But after the game moves forward Belgium were able to solve the situation by one point when Romalu Lukaku was brought off the bench amid fitness questions. And his arrival put pressure on Mohamed. Hani scored an own goal and Charles de Katelarer was introduced as a starter. This leaves the Belgian coach with a number of forward options to consider ahead of the next game against Iran.
Spain were disappointed when Cape Verde was able to resist the La Liga team. Roja held on in a game that ended scoreless. The absence of Lamine Yamal and to a lesser extent Nico. Williams has been questioned as to whether the Spanish style can still work in the absence of difference-making players. This draw felt like a victory for Cape Verde, a small nation. Meanwhile, Spain, which came in as favorites, may start to worry. Although it is still too early to judge the future of the team. But this result could put Spain on a more difficult path in the knockout round, likely against Argentina in Miami.
in the same group game Uruguay and Saudi Arabia open a chance to lead the group. But in the end, both of them still couldn't find the scorching door. It ended in a 1-1 draw, Abdullah Al-Amri scoring to give Saudi Arabia the lead. But in the second half Uruguay responded and Maxi Araújo scored to give his team a deserved equalizer. This draw gives Spain a chance to escape in that group.
The overall picture of the match day was that there were four draws in one day. This was the second such event in World Cup history and the first time in 68 years, adding to the atmosphere of the opening round of the tournament, filled with uncertainty and excitement for the next fixture.
