The match between England and Belgium in the early morning of March 27 (Vietnam time) was exciting as both teams were determined to get a favorable result.
In the 11th minute, England goalkeeper Pickford made a careless pass, putting the ball at Tielemans' feet. From a distance of less than 20m, the midfielder wearing the Aston Villa shirt perfectly finished to put the Belgian team ahead.
In the 15th minute, Mainoo had a confident dribble in the middle of the Belgian player forest. The young Man United star had a favorable pass for Bellingham. In a favorable position, Bellingham passed the ball to Toney, a Brentford player was fouled and England received a penalty. Toney himself made an excellent performance on the 11m kick to help England equalize.
With an equalizer, it seemed that England would improve the game, but their defense continued to be exploited. In the 36th minute, Tielemans completed their double early to help Belgium lead 2-1 when entering the break between the two rounds.
In the second half, England tried their best to attack and all their efforts were rewarded in the final minutes. Right in the 90+5 minute, Jude Bellingham transformed into the "Three Lions" hero with an equalizer.
In the end, the match ended in a 2-2 draw. This result will certainly make England and Belgium dissatisfied as the EURO 2024 finals are approaching.
Notably, this was Mainoo's England debut. The player currently playing for Man United has played steadily, contributing a lot to the overall playing style of the "Three Lions" and as a result he was voted the best player of the match.
