EM 2021: Belgium wins clearly in Russia - Thomas Meunier from BVB scores
At the same time, the match between Belgium and Russia kicked off on Saturday evening (June 12) in Saint Petersburg - it was a one-sided game at this European Football Championship in 2021 *.
The Belgians, one of the favorites for the European Championship, won 3-0 (2-0) against passive Russians without the ailing superstar Kevin de Bruyne (Manchester City).
Even at the break, the “Red Devils”, as the Belgian players are called by their fans, ensured a preliminary decision.
The massive striker Romelu Lukaku scored with a left-footed shot to make it 1-0 (10th minute).
Thomas Meunier scored the 2-0 (34th).
Curious: The Borussia Dortmund * full-back, who is only a substitute in the Bundesliga *, had only been substituted seven minutes earlier for the also ailing Timothy Castagne.
Meunier benefited from a blunder by Russia goalkeeper Anton Shunin, who unluckily let the ball fall forward after a cross, so that Meunier only had to insert.
Lukaku finished with a textbook counterattack to make it 3-0 (88th).
