As Lukaku missed several crucial chances, Belgium became the victim of a major incident.
Belgium lost 0-1 in the first Group E match of “UEFA Euro 2024” against Slovakia at Frankfurt Arena in Germany on 18 June.
Belgium, ranking third in FIFA’s rankings, has been hamstrung by Slovakia (48th), the lowest ranked team in FIFA’s Group E, and thus lost its pride. Belgium’s first loss in Group E, which was evaluated as the strongest three, is beyond expectations.
Slovakia led the way in the seventh minute. Jeremy Doku, who was dragging the ball from his side, lost the ball, causing a crisis. Boznik’s shot was blocked by the goalkeeper, but it went to Schrantz, who volleyed it and shook the net.
Belgium’s wave offensive continued, but front-line striker Romelu Lukaku’s performance was serious. Lukaku, who also missed a decisive one-on-one chance in the second minute of the first half, received The Bruyne’s long pass in the 42nd minute to create another one-on-one chance, but he couldn’t even shoot properly. 에볼루션 바카라사이트
In the 10th minute of the second half, Lukaku pushed Amadu Onana’s Heather Pes into the goal, but the goal was canceled due to offside. In the 16th minute of the second half, he failed to even shoot an effective shot at the goalpost, which he caught due to a mistake in clearing by the opponent team.
In the 41st minute of the second half, Lukaku, who had not marked Leo Oppenda’s cross, seemed to equalize, but after another VAR review, Oppenda’s handball canceled the goal.
Belgium ultimately failed to secure the win due to its poor goal-scoring ability. Romania and Slovakia, which were classified as weak, won Group E, putting the team in a state of chaos.
