Belgium vs Romania [2-0] | All Goals & Extended Highlights | UEFA Euro 2024
Belgium beat Romania 2-0 for their first win of Euro 2024; Youri Tielemans opened the scoring after 73 seconds before Kevin De Bruyne sealed the result late on; Romelu Lukaku saw a third goal of the Euros ruled out by VAR; all four Group E teams are level on points.
Belgium got their Euro 2024 campaign up and running as Youri Tielemans and Kevin De Bruyne scored to beat Romania 2-0 to earn the Red Devils their first points of the tournament.
Reeling from their unfortunate yet disappointing loss to Slovakia in their first game, Domenico Tedesco's side came out all guns blazing and they were rewarded after 73 seconds, as Tielemans blasted home Romelu Lukaku's lay-off from the edge of the area.
Belgium, led by the impressive De Bruyne and living confidently through the direct running of Jeremy Doku, felt nerves and frustration as their lead remained at one goal despite an impressive, collective team display.
De Bruyne curled one effort wide, then another straight at goalkeeper Florin Nita after half-time. The irritation was summed up through a comedic moment shortly afterwards as, for the third time this tournament, Lukaku was denied a goal via VAR, who penalised him for a marginal offside call after latching onto De Bruyne's pass.
But the result was sealed with 10 minutes left as De Bruyne latched onto a route-one ball forward before scoring a captain's goal. With one round of Group E games remaining, all four teams sit on three points, promising a dramatic and tense conclusion to this pool next week.
