Azerbaijan remained on a historic victory against Sweden (3-0), Belgium remained on a friendly victory against Serbia (1-0).
Aster Vranck et Johan Bakayoko are preferred to Youri Tielemans et Dodi Lukebakio. The first alert came from Castagne, a shot off target in the 5th minute.
The rest is the our captain’s Star 80 festival… In the 17th minute, Romelu Lukaku headed a magnificent cross from Doku. Big Rom marque son 80e but with the Devils. In the minutes that followed, Eddy Israfilov received two yellow cards in quick succession… Azerbaijan, reduced to 10 men, began a nightmarish evening.
In the 26th minute, Castagne on the edge of offside serves Lukaku who makes it 2-0. A goal that takes time to be validated by the VAR. At the half-hour mark, the Roma striker signs the perfect hat trick. Faes’ cross is superb, Lukaku’s recovery unstoppable.
The “ Big Rom Festival ” continues, with a fourth rose planted, by the best scorer in the history of the Devils, on a cross strike.
Timothy Castagne made it 5-0 just before the break but the Fulham player’s goal was canceled for an offside position, by Romelu Lukaku. It’s 4-0 at the break.
The second half began without Romelu Lukaku, who gave way to Lois Openda. Youri Tielemans takes the place of Aster Vranckx.
The Devils immediately created a new opportunity. Bakayoko strikes at the entrance to the rectangle but the ball is well repelled by Mahammadaliyev. Belgium continued to press, notably with some good incursions from Jérémy Doku, but without increasing the score. Youri Tielemans came close to making it 5-0, but his shot from distance crashed into the Azerbaijani post.
It’s finally Leandro Trossardbeautifully served by Doku, who sealed the score in the 90th minute. Final score 5-0. Belgium finished first in its group with 20 points, that is to say one point more than Austria.
The Red Devils will therefore be part of Pot 1 during the draw for Euro 2024, which will take place on Saturday December 2 at 6 p.m. in Hamburg.
