Belgium's forward #22 Jeremy Doku and Belgium's midfielder #07 Kevin De Bruyne celebrate after winning the UEFA Euro 2024 Group E football match between Belgium and Romania at the Cologne Stadium in Cologne on June 22, 2024. Youri Tielemans breathed new life into Belgium’s Euro 2024 campaign as the Aston Villa midfielder’s goal after just 73 seconds inspired a vital 2-0 win against Romania on Saturday.

With 45 rungs separating the two nations in FIFA’s rankings, third-placed Belgium’s 1-0 loss to Slovakia on Monday was the biggest upset in European Championship history. Having bowed out at the group stage of the 2022 World Cup and lost in the quarter-finals of the last two Euros, Belgium’s golden generation have given themselves fresh hope of finally delivering on their vast potential.

Belgium had failed to score in over 300 minutes at major tournaments since netting against Canada at the last World Cup.A sweeping move climaxed when Jeremy Doku’s pass found Romelu Lukaku in the Romania penalty area and he laid the ball back to Tielemans, who smashed a powerful low strike past Florin Nita from the edge of the area.
