Belgium and Egypt on Saturday qualified for the last 32 from Group G of the 2026 World Cup. Belgium defeated New Zealand 5-1 in Vancouver to top the standings with five points. Egypt also finished second on five points.
Egypt drew 1-1 with Iran in Seattle. Iran finished third with three points and still have a chance of advancing. New Zealand, on the other hand, were eliminated from the tournament with one point.
Leandro Trossard scored twice in Belgium's stunning victory in the 28th and 50th minutes. Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku and Alex Lacemakers each added one goal in the 66th, 86th and 50th minutes of second-half injury time. Elise Just pulled one back for New Zealand in the 84th minute.
Egypt opened the scoring in the fifth minute through Mahmoud Saber. That lead did not last long, as Ramin Rezen equalized for Iran in the 14th minute. Earlier, Mehdi Taremi had missed a penalty. Late in the game, Sojae Khalizadeh had a goal ruled out for offside.
