Lukaku Urges Calm After Belgium’s Goalless Draw with Iran at World Cup 2026
Belgium were held to a 0-0 draw by Iran in their second Group G match at the World Cup 2026. Rudi Garcia’s side dominated possession, registering 23 shots and nearly 70% ball control, but could not break down Iran’s defence. Romelu Lukaku voiced his disappointment but stressed the need for composure. “We have to stay with the emotions, stay calm and keep our composure. That is something we have to improve on,” he said in a post-match interview. With one game left against New Zealand, Belgium must win to stay in contention for the Round of 32. Lukaku called for “desire and commitment to the cause” as the Red Devils chase their first victory of the tournament.
