EURO 2024 results: Lukaku's goal was canceled, Belgium still beat Romania

(VTC News) - The Belgian team won against the Romanian team even though Romelu Lukaku had a goal denied.

The Belgian team won against Romania.

The disastrous defeat on the opening day forced the Belgian team to go all out to defeat Romania. Romelu Lukaku was still unlucky but this time his teammates knew how to score. Coach Domenico Tedesco made some personnel adjustments in the starting lineup and one of them brought early results. In the 2nd minute, from a good wall move by Romelu Lukaku, Youri Tielemans - a substitute in the previous match - fired a long-range shot to open the score. With the goal, Kevin De Bruyne and his teammates played brilliantly. They quickly controlled the midfield and pushed the Romanian team back deep into their own half. The Belgian team continued to create opportunities when Jeremy Doku played very well on the left wing. He constantly tormented the opposing defenders.

In the 13th minute, Doku passed the ball to Lukaku to press and eliminate the opponent's defender, but the shot after that still did not bring a goal. A few minutes later, De Bruyne passed 3 Romanian defenders before passing to Dodi Lukebakio. This midfielder shot beautifully from a distance, but the Romanian goalkeeper saved it excellently. Most of the first half took place with the advantage for the Belgian team. They had more than 70% of the ball possession time and the Romanian team could hardly counterattack. In the second half, the Belgian team could no longer maintain the dominant position. The Romanian team pushed up the formation and won many one-on-one battles. However, the team's attack did not play very cohesively. The Romanian team's coordination did not bring the necessary results. Romania's most dangerous chance came from Lukebakio's mistake. However, the Romanian striker unfortunately missed the shot. Lukaku continued to show how unlucky he was at EURO 2024. In the 63rd minute, from a pass from Kevin de Bruyne, Lukaku moved and finished into the Romanian net. However, VAR determined that the Belgian striker was offside and the referee did not recognize the goal. The Belgian team still ended the match with a 2-goal difference. In the 80th minute, from a kick-off by goalkeeper Koen Casteels, Kevin de Bruyne took advantage of the opportunity to increase the score to 2-0. In the remaining time of the match, Belgium had at least 3 more chances but could not widen the gap.
