BELGIUM 0-1 SLOVAKIA: Ivan Schranz punished slack Belgian defending to score the game's only goal in just the seventh minute, as Belgium stare an another group stage exit
Belgium's tournament curse struck again as they were beaten by Slovakia in their opening match of Euro 2024 in Frankfurt, where Romelu Lukaku had two goals ruled out by VAR.
Rarely has Belgium's ability to leave you both dazzled and despairing been as evident as it was inside the first seven minutes in Frankfurt, and inside the boots of Doku. The way out, or so Doku thought, was to play it to Wout Faes, but it was farce and not Faes which took over, as Schranz nipped in, found Juraj Kucka and was then on hand to tuck in the rebound after Koen Casteels had saved Kucka's shot.
Casteels needed to pull off a superb save to deny what would have been a fine goal from the impressive Haraslin, before Lukaku fluffed his lines with a heavy touch at the other end.
