Belgium hoped to redeem themselves after their defeat against Italy, but failed to revive their momentum and suffered another defeat.
It has now been five games without a victory for the Red Devils, who are concluding the year 2024 in the worst possible way. Despite a good start to the match, without any real clear chances, the second half was disappointing and lackluster. As a bonus, Belgium conceded a goal at the very end of the match.
Score final: 1-0
1-0 Shua 86′
With this defeat, Belgium ranks third with 4 points and will therefore play in the Nations League play-offs. In first place, we find France (13 points), Italy is second (13 points) and Israel therefore finishes last with 4 points.
The pressure is weighing on Domenico Tedesco, who seems to have lost the support of his team and is showing tactical shortcomings. The arrival of Vincent Mannaert could bring significant changes.
