Summary of the warm-up game: Bellingham scored an equalizing goal in the 95th minute, the England team squeezed a great 2:2 against Belgium/Sport1
The tests of the tools of the European national teams in preparation for Euro 2024 continued this evening (Tuesday) with several friendlies across the continent.
In the spotlight: Germany beat the Netherlands after a turnaround in Frankfurt and England escaped another loss at Wembley, thanks to a dramatic equalizer against Belgium.
England - Belgium 2:2
After the canceled draw against Ireland that left a disappointing impression, Domenico Tedesco made seven changes to the Belgium lineup, including Amado Onana and Romelu Lukaku in the 11.
The two rewarded him with assists to Yuri Tillmans Shelhat with an impressive double, but it was not enough for the Red Devils to achieve their first ever victory over England in a friendly match.
Of course, Belgium has already beaten the British in the 2018 World Cup and the Nations League.
National debutant Ivan Toney equalized temporarily for the Three Lions with a penalty from 11 metres, becoming the first to score a penalty on his England debut since Alan Clarke against the Czech Republic in 1970.
Gareth Southgate's players put a lot of pressure on the opponent's goal and created quite a few winking situations in the second half, but it wasn't until the 94th minute that Jude Bellingham took advantage of an excellent assist by James Maddison, and scored the goal that prevented the English from a second consecutive home loss After the 1:0 at the hands of Brazil last week.
In June, the European runner-up will hold home friendlies against Bosnia and Iceland before the Euros, while Belgium will meet Montenegro and Luxembourg on their soil for general rehearsals.
A great pair.

Germany - Netherlands 1:2
After the Orange defeated Scotland 4:0 on Friday, Joey Firman scored this evening within three minutes and 11 seconds of the opening and it looked like the Netherlands were on their way to another victory.
The PSV Eindhoven midfielder scored his team's fastest goal since September 2021 (after 55 seconds against Turkey) and also the Orange's fastest in an away game since September 2013 (within 1:56 minutes against Estonia).
But the advantage only lasted seven minutes, because Maximilian Mittelstadt equalized for Germany with a beautiful finish, and in the second half, Julian Nagelsmann's replacements completed a turnaround that gave Mannschaft a second consecutive victory, after in the six previous meetings with the Netherlands they managed to win only once.
Toni Kroos, who equaled Jürgen Klinsmann tonight with his 108th appearance in the German national team uniform, scored a corner for Niklas Polkrug who scored the second for the host towards the end.
Before the home Euro where they will try to correct the impression after weak performances in the major tournaments in recent years, Germany will hold preparatory games against Ukraine and Greece in about two and a half months.
Holland will meet Canada and Iceland before the European Championship.
