FRANKFURT: Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco has backed his side to bounce back after they squandered chances in a shock 1-0 defeat by Slovakia in their European Championship opener on Monday (June 17).
Belgium's Youri Tielemans is shown a yellow card by referee Halil Umut Meler during the Euro 2024 Group E Belgium v Slovakia football match at Frankfurt Arena, Frankfurt, Germany on June 17, 2024
Belgium were wasteful in front of goal and created enough opportunities to win comfortably but a mixture of poor finishing and some excellent Slovakia defending kept them at bay. Tedesco added that he knew his 15-game unbeaten run since he took over the team last February would come to an end at some point."Unfortunately this was today," he said.
