Belgium's Poor Euro 2024 Form Continues with Defeat to Slovakia

Tielemans Scored the Only Goal of the Match

Slovakia registered a famous 1-0 victory over Belgium in their Euro 2024 Group B opener on Monday, with Youri Tielemans scoring the only goal of the match. The result was a major upset, as Belgium are ranked 45 places higher than Slovakia in FIFA's rankings.

Tielemans' goal came in the 12th minute, as he capitalised on a poor clearance from Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. Slovakia defended resolutely for the rest of the match, and Belgium were unable to find a way through. The defeat leaves Belgium bottom of Group B, with Slovakia top.
