Belgium: Meunier gives penalty

Then, following an entry by Eric Dier at Lukaku, Stieler decided after a long period of consideration and communication with his assistants about a penalty, which he converted himself. Stieler couldn’t rely on a video assistant, which is only available in the Nations League in the final tournament. It was the 53rd international goal for Belgian top scorer Lukaku.

Before the surprising draw, Stieler immediately decided a penalty after Meunier grabbed Jordan Henderson’s shoulder. Mount’s deflected shot turned the game completely.
