AFTER A SCORELESS DRAW WITH CROATIA, BELGIUM WAS ELIMINATED FROM THE FIFA WORLD CUP.

At the Ahmed bin Ali Stadium on Thursday, Belgium, which had placed third in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, was held to a scoreless draw by Croatia, and four years later, it was eliminated from the group stage.

Since 1994, Roberto Martinez’s team had gone undefeated in group stage games. However, that streak came to an end when Morocco handed them a shocking defeat.

The Red Devils, spearheaded by Kevin De Bruyne, were unable to mount a comeback against Croatia, who looked to be the superior team throughout the thrilling match. Croatia finished second in the 2018 tournament. In the 15th minute, a penalty kick was given to the Croats, but Anthony Taylor’s VAR review disallowed it.

Romelu Lukaku, though, lost a golden opportunity to score for Belgium in the last seconds of the second half after hitting the post once.

With the draw, Belgium came in third place in Group F and joined Canada as the only two teams to leave Qatar with no prizes.

More will come.
