Slovakia defeated Belgium 1-0 in UEFA euro Cup
Romelu Lukaku had two goals ruled out via video review as Belgium slumped to the first major upset of Euro 2024, losing 1-0 to Slovakia in Frankfurt Germany .
Lukaku put the ball in the net after 56 minutes and thought he had done enough to equalize following a goalward header from Amadou Onana — before the footage revealed he was offside.
The Roma forward was left dejected three minutes before the end when he again fired the ball past Slovakia goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, only for it to be adjudged that Lois Openda had handled the ball in the build-up to the play.
Slovakia took the lead through Ivan Schranz after just seven minutes, with his goal eventually proving the difference between the teams.
Jeremy Doku gave the ball away in a dangerous position, Juraj Kucka’ effort was parried by goalkeeper Koen Casteels and Schranz slid the ball into the net.
Kevin de Bruyne had a final chance for Belgium in injury time, with a powerful run into the box. But was forced wide and his strike was caught by Dubravka.
