However, they have grown stronger with every knockout match. They produced a thrilling comeback from two goals down to beat Senegal 3-2 in the Round of 32, with Youri Tielemans inspiring the turnaround after Romelu Lukaku’s introduction changed the game. Belgium then followed it up with a dominant win over the United States in the Round of 16.
