Belgium vs Romania 2-0, Euro 2024

The Euro 2024 match between Belgium and Romania ended in a 2-0 victory for the Belgian team. This result was not unexpected, as Belgium is currently ranked as one of the top teams in Europe, while Romania is considered a lower-tier team. The match was held at a neutral venue, with both teams giving their all to secure a win.

Belgium dominated possession throughout the game, showcasing their superior technical skills and tactical prowess. Their first goal came in the first half, with a well-executed play that left the Romanian defense scrambling to catch up. The second goal came in the second half, sealing their victory and securing them three points in the group stage.

A goal by Youri Tielemans after 73 seconds and a late one for Kevin De Bruyne gave Belgium a 2-0 win over Romania in an incredible game full of chances on Saturday that set up a final round showdown with all four teams in Group E on three points.

It was a Saturday night special played in an astonishing atmosphere in Cologne, with the only mystery being how there were only two goals.

All outcomes are now available on the final night of matches when Belgium play Ukraine and Slovakia play Romania, when four points could be enough to top the group but could also see a team eliminated.

Dodi Lukebakio’s fierce shot was well saved by Florin Nita after a trademark carving run by De Bruyne, while Lukebakio and Amadou Onana both blazed over when free in front of goal.

It seemed only a matter of time before they scored again, but Romania weathered the storm and, knowing how they struck so devastatingly on the counter to beat Ukraine, did not panic.

Their fans certainly stayed behind them, helping create an amazing atmosphere as noise rained down from all four stands.

The waves of Belgian attacks continued though, as Jeremy Doku fizzed a cross inches from Lukebakio’s head, De Bruyne curled one just past a post then had another shot smothered by Nita.

Youri Tielemans might add some creativity to the midfield, and a switch to a three-at-the-back formation cannot be ruled out.

Romania is still awaiting the return of veteran striker Denis Alibec from injury and is unlikely to make significant changes to the side that hammered Ukraine.

TheTricolors, as the Romanian team is nicknamed, come with confidence on the back of a statement victory and an impressive performance. Belgium didn’t perform poorly against Slovakia and will be looking to improve in the scoring department. Statistically, Belgium holds the upper hand and should secure today their first points in this tournament.

Overall, this match demonstrated Belgium's strength as a footballing nation and highlighted Romania's potential for growth and improvement in future tournaments. It was an exciting display of sportsmanship and skill from both teams, making it an enjoyable experience for fans and spectators alike.
