Roberto Martínez warned yesterday that Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne “will not play the 90 minutes against Belarus.” As a result, the leaders of the Belgian team all sat on the bench. Their help was not needed: the “red devils” with the second team sent eight goals to the desperate Belarus.
For Wanaken, Trossard and Prat, today’s goals for the national team were their debuts. Doku scored his second goal for Belgium. The opponent allowed it all today.
Belarus lasted 14 minutes. Then the goals rained down one after another. An incredible degree of freedom was given to 18-year-old “Rennes” winger Jeremy Doku. It was he who assisted beautifully on Batshuayi’s first goal, passing without looking. Three minutes later, Vanaken easily shut down the center of Meunier, and then no one stopped Trossard from hitting from 25 meters. At the end of the first half, Doku ran away from two defenders and outscored Gutor.
In the opening minutes of the second half, Prat already scored a long-range shot, and only after 0: 5 did Belarus create their first and only chance in the match. After Kendysh’s not very strong blow, the ball mockingly passed the bar …
Benteke, who came on as a substitute, scored his goal, then Trossard scored a double. Not without Doku’s involvement. Excellent match from the “Anderlecht” student. In the 89th minute, Vanaken put an end to the game, also scoring a double.
8-0 – Belgium missed a goal to repeat their biggest victory in history (9-0). A humiliating result for Belarus. This is the biggest defeat in its history.
