The group stage of the European Championship ushered in the final day of the matchup, and in the third round of Group E, the Ukrainian team and the Belgian team met. In the end, the two teams drew 0-0, which gave birth to the famous scene of the European Cup, the four teams in Group E, all 4 points, but the Ukrainian team became the unlucky guy, becoming the only team out of the group, after the game, some players cried bitterly!
Belgium, ranked No. 2 in FIFA rankings, lined up with a 433 formation in this game, with Castles as the team's starting goalkeeper, and in the backline, the veteran Vertonghen is in charge, and in midfield, the Belgian team is very luxurious, De Bruyne and Tielemans are partnered, and the other is Onana, and in the forward line, Trossard, Lukaku and Doku play, Carrasco and Bakayoko are on the bench. On the Ukrainian side, there is a 532 formation, focusing on defense, and on the forward line are Dovbik and Yaremchuk.
Before the game, Lukaku was mercilessly mocked, with some Premier League legends pointing out that Lukaku's shooting skills were average, but he thought he was excellent. In the 7th minute of the game, Lukaku got a chance in the penalty area, facing the defense of two people, he shot from the left side of the penalty area, but the ball was weak, slowly rolled towards the goalkeeper, naturally there was no threat.
After withstanding Belgium's opening three-pronged axe, Ukraine also had an attacking threat, and in the 20th minute of the game, Yaremchuk shot from outside the box, and the Belgian goalkeeper easily got the ball. In the 33rd minute of the game, the Belgian team got a free kick opportunity, De Bruyne shot directly, but unfortunately it was slightly off, and this attack was still very unexpected. Just before half-time, Kevin De Bruyne attempted a long-range shot that was cleared away by the goalkeeper.
In the second half, Belgium were unable to capitalise on their chances, and Lukaku's flanking shots in front of goal were mostly unthreatening, much to his frustration. After Carrasco came on, the veteran of the Chinese Super League also had a chance to score, but he also failed to grasp it, and in the end, Belgium and Ukraine drew 0-0, each with one point.
The Group E match came to an end, with Romania finishing first in the group with four points, Belgium also qualifying second in the group with four points, and Slovakia finishing third with four points. The Ukrainian team also has 4 points, but the goal difference is at the bottom of the group and can only be eliminated embarrassingly.
Of course, the FIFA ranked 3rd Belgian team is also unlucky, this 0-0 game, let them meet the world No. 2 French team in the first round of the knockout round of 16, although there is a chance to win, but the French team is strong, in high probability, the loss will be the Belgian team!
