The Belgian national football team has revived its chances of advancing to the Round of 16 in the UEFA Euro 2024 after securing a 2-0 win over Romania on Saturday in the second round of Group E matches, currently being held in Germany.

Belgium took the lead with a goal by Youri Tielemans in the 2nd minute, and Kevin De Bruyne sealed the victory with a second goal in the 80th minute. This win compensates for Belgium’s surprising 1-0 loss to Slovakia in the first round and marks their first win of the tournament.

All four teams in Group E now have three points each, with Romania retaining the top spot despite the loss, thanks to their 3-0 win over Ukraine in the first round. Belgium is in second place, followed by Slovakia in third, despite losing 2-1 to Ukraine, who are in fourth place.

The final round of group stage matches on Wednesday will determine which teams advance to the Round of 16. Belgium will face Ukraine, while Slovakia will take on Romania.
