Belgium recovered its memory and defeated Romania :: Olé

After a negative debut, Belgium showed a better version, recovered in time and put group E of the Euro Cup red hot. They deservedly beat Romania 2-0 and all the members of the zone (Ukraine and Slovakia are the others) They were left with three points with one date to go. It will be a definition not suitable for the faint of heart.

Belgium took the lead very early: Lukaku pivoted inside the large area after a pass from Doku and Tielemans arrived from outside to make it 1-0 in just 73 seconds of play. The second fastest goal of this Euro Cup, only surpassed by Albania’s goal against Italy on the first date (23 seconds, a record in the entire history of the competition). Throughout that first half, the Belgians were always superior in the game, despite some approaches from the Romanians, in decline compared to the premiere. However, they only had a one-goal lead. They were not fine and they also ran into goalkeeper Nita.

The second half was similar. For example, De Bruyne tried, they blocked (and disallowed) a goal from Lukaku and, just with less than 15′ left, The City man finished him off. Fair. A result in line with what the match was, beyond some play that Romania had to score. Belgium deserved even more, especially with the spaces that were created with their rival playing in attack to score a goal.

Thus, everything will be defined next Wednesday at 1:00 p.m. (Argentine time): Slovakia vs. Romania and Belgium vs. Ukraine. The winners will advance to the round. In the event of a tie, those who will qualify directly will be the Belgians and Romanians based on goal difference. And we will have to wait for the third.
