Iran's goal disallowed for offside in World Cup match against Belgium

In the World Cup Group G match between Iran and Belgium on June 21, 2026, a goal from Iran's Mehdi Taremi was disallowed after a VAR review determined he was offside. Taremi scored following a set piece executed by Ehsan Hajsafi, sparking celebrations among the Iranian fans at SoFi Stadium. However, the disallowance stemmed from a ruling that Taremi's butt was in an offside position. The match continued with neither team scoring, currently underway at 0-0.
