Belgium VS Portugal Score: The 22 superstars took the pitch—Belgium versus Portugal. The two teams meet for the first time in an intense elimination competition. With Italy, the winner advances to a fourth Final. The loser goes home. Minutes left till the Euro Cup’s most extraordinary clash to date. Seatbelts fasten. Winners of this match will face off against the Dark Horse Italy.
Eden Hazard had the chance to demonstrate to the world that he is still a leading player. Instead, hazard began off his Euro journey as he captained the squad in a 2-0 victory over Finland after 20 minutes off the bench and half an hour off the bench in the first couple of matches with Russia and Denmark. Now, on Spanish soil, he’ll lead his side out again.
For Belgium in Euro 2020, Lukaku was fantastic, not simply with its three objectives. However, thus far, he’s pretty solitary. He touched the ball only six times in the initial half-hour, less often than anybody on the pitch. One of those instances, though, was to establish an Eden hazard.
The efforts of Thorgan Hazard just before half-time proved to be the only goal of the game against two of the favorites in what was primarily a cagey encounter.
Rafael Gurrero came the closest to scoring the equalizer as he hit the volley in the 83rd minute, and initially, it looked like it’s just creeping in but hit the post, and with that, Portugal’s chances of moving on.
Final Score
Belgium 1-0 Portugal
