Holds Belgium goalless
Beiranvand recorded seven saves and a clean sheet in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Belgium.
Analysis: Beiranvand continued the trend of goalies standing out at the 2026 World Cup, as the Iranian keeper would not let Belgium score once over 90 minutes while making a great seven saves. He potentially walks away with the save of the tournament after a beautiful diving effort with his left hand denied a nearly open goal. He will now look to hold strong against Egypt, as even just one more point could see them through to the knockouts.
Saves six in 2-2 draw
Beiranvand made six saves in Monday's 2-2 draw with New Zealand.
Analysis: Beiranvand had a busy night in Iran's 2026 FIFA World Cup Group G opener. New Zealand generated eight shots on target, forcing Beiranvand into six saves as Iran twice came from behind to earn a point. He made several important stops that kept Iran within reach before goals from Ramin Rezaeian and Mohammad Mohebi secured the draw. Iran's next opponent is Belgium on Sunday, June 21. After the opening round, Iran, Belgium, Egypt, and New Zealand all sit on one point following two draws, making the Belgium game especially important for Iran's hopes of reaching the knockout stage.
