Belgium’s Red Devils roar back with a royal audience cheering them on! 👑
In a high-stakes Euro 2024 clash, Kevin De Bruyne crowned Belgium’s 2-0 victory over Romania with a late goal, keeping their tournament hopes alive. The match, watched by King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, saw the Red Devils rebound from their shock loss to Slovakia. ⚡
Youri Tielemans fired Belgium ahead just 76 seconds into the game, setting the tone for a dominant performance. But it was De Bruyne—nicknamed \"King Kev\"—who sealed the deal with an 80th-minute strike, sprinting onto a long kick from goalkeeper Koen Casteels. 🏃♂️💨
\"We knew we had to win or go home,\" said De Bruyne, who vowed to keep pushing his team. Coach Domenico Tedesco called the result \"a relief,\" especially after Romelu Lukaku had *another* goal ruled out by VAR—his third at the tournament. 😬
Group E is now wide open: All four teams have 3 points heading into Wednesday’s final matches. Belgium vs. Ukraine and Romania vs. Slovakia will decide who advances. 🔥
