Belgium Suffers Shock Defeat to Slovakia in 2024 Euro Opener
In a stunning upset, Belgium's national football team fell to a 1-0 defeat against Slovakia in their opening Group stage match at the 2024 European Football Championship.
The highly-fancied Belgian side, ranked second in the world, was expected to dominate the match but was unable to break down a resolute Slovakian defense. Despite possessing talented players like Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, and Eden Hazard, Belgium's attack was neutralized by Slovakia's well-organized defense.
The sole goal of the match was scored by Slovakian Schranz in the 7th minute, which proved to be the decisive winner.
Belgium's disappointment was compounded by the controversial ruling out of two Lukaku goals by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). The decisions sparked heated debates among fans and pundits, but ultimately did not affect the outcome of the match.
Slovakia's historic win marks a significant upset in the tournament, and they will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming matches. Belgium, on the other hand, must regroup and reassess their strategy to get their campaign back on track.
The final score:
Slovakia 1 (Schranz 7')
Belgium 0
