Summary

A critical error by Belgium defender Nathan Ngoy led to a straight red card during a World Cup match against Iran on Sunday. Midway through the second half of a goalless game, Ngoy mis-hit a back pass intended for his goalkeeper. This mistake allowed an Iranian attacker, Mehdi Teremi, to intercept the ball and gain a clear run towards the goal.
Ngoy's desperate attempt to recover resulted in him fouling Teremi. The referee immediately issued a straight red card to Ngoy for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. This significant defensive lapse put Belgium at a disadvantage and marked a memorable negative moment for Ngoy in the tournament.
