With superior force, Belgium pushed up the аttаck squad right after the opening whistle. The opportunity soon came to them in the 3rd minute, but Romelu Lukaku unfortunately missed the shot in front of goalkeeper Dubravka.Lukaku will have many regrets, because not long after, the Slovakian team scored the opening goal. Exactly in the 7th minute, Doku made a mistake, allowing Slovakia to launch two consecutive close-range shots towards Casteels’ goal and Schranz was the one who scored for Slovakia.VAR recognized Schranz’s goal.Being behind, Belgium attacked with all their might to find an equalizer. Doku operates quite actively but ineffectively.Amadou Onana did not do too well in deploying the ball, causing Belgium to encounter many deadlocks, especially when Slovakia actively pressed high.In the 42nd minute, Lukaku once again showed his ungainliness after Carrasco’s long pass. Chelsea’s striker broke the offside trap to face Dubravka, but did not control it well and let the ball go out of bounds.The second half’s game was not much different from the first half. Kevin de Bruyne appeared alone in Belgium’s midfield.In the 56th minute, after Onana’s assist, Lukaku put the ball into Slovakia’s net, but the goal was not recognized because of offside.Other Belgian attackers, like Doku or Trossard, cannot show their dаnger like they did at the club.Belgium stubbornly attacked until the last minute. And in the 86th minute, Lukaku once again put the ball into the Slovakian net, but VAR continued to deny Belgium a goal, because Openda was penalized for handball earlier.The match ended with an unexpecteԀ, but worthy 1-0 victory for Slovakia.
