In the first round of Group E of the European Championship, Belgium faces Slovakia. In the 6th minute of the first half, Dokumoto attempted a human error in the backcourt to give a gift, but Schlantz intercepted and hit back with his heel. Kutzka followed suit and was saved, followed by Schlantz's shot to score.

Yi Bian fought again. In the 56th minute, Trossard crossed from the right and Onana headed the ball in the back. Lukaku, who missed two good opportunities in the first half, finally scored a goal in front of the goal, but was still ruled invalid due to offside; In the 61st minute, Doku made a cross from the left, and Dubrovka's save was not far away. Bakayoko, who came on as a substitute, made a close shot and was cleared by Hanzko on the goal line; In the 86th minute, substitute Opponda crossed from the left and Lukaku scored from the center. However, VAR intervened and the ball was invalidated due to Opponda's handball being played earlier.

In the end, Belgium lost 0-1 to Slovakia, resulting in their first major upset in this year's European Championship.

Slovakia defeated Belgium 1-0, marking their third ever victory in a European Championship. The "European Red Devils" Belgium failed to score in 47 consecutive shots in the competition and missed 11 good opportunities. Lukaku scored 2 goals in the game, was sidelined 2 times, and missed 3 opportunities.

After the game, renowned football commentator Huang Jianxiang commented that it is not easy to see a second striker like Lukaku who could miss a hat trick after so many years. Perhaps he missed two. My teammates have also been infected. However, no matter what, if Lukaku doesn't kick in, he won't get angry, but will laugh instead. This is also not easy to see the second one.
