Underdog Triumph in Frankfurt! 🌟
Slovakia pulled off one of Euro 2024’s biggest upsets with a 1-0 victory over star-studded Belgium, thanks to VAR drama that denied Romelu Lukaku twice! Ivan Schranz’s early goal set the tone, but it was the video reviews that stole the spotlight 😮.
Lukaku’s Nightmare 😤
Belgium’s all-time top scorer saw two goals overturned – first for offside, then a controversial handball call against Loïs Openda. 'I want to be a fair loser,' sighed coach Domenico Tedesco, as Kevin De Bruyne’s creative magic went unrewarded.
Slovakian Grit 🛡️
Defender David Hancko became a hero with a face-injury-inducing goal-line block, while midfielder Stanislav Lobotka declared: 'This win means everything for Slovakia!' Cue their post-match dance party to 'Freed From Desire' 🎶.
What’s Next? 👀
Can Slovakia keep riding this wave? Will Belgium bounce back? Group E just got SPICY 🌶️! Stay tuned for more #Euro2024 chaos.
