New Zealand – Belgium: live score and LIVE coverage
Here you will find the current result of the New Zealand – Belgium match, a minute-by-minute report and the most important statistics of the match. We will keep track of goals, cards, substitutions, corner kicks, ball possession and all the most important events on the pitch.
Belgium has two draws after two rounds and is still yet to win the World Cup. New Zealand won one point and also retained their mathematical chances of advancing. This means that both teams have to play for the full pool.
The most important figures of the meeting
The Belgians count primarily on Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Leandro Trossard and Youri Tielemans. It is their effectiveness and creativity that will determine whether the favorite will break New Zealand’s defense.
On the home side of the group, Chris Wood is getting the most attention, supported by Sarpreet Singh, McCowatt and Just. The New Zealanders will look for their opportunities mainly from counter-attacks and set pieces.
Who won the match?
Belgium defeated New Zealand 5-1. Goals for Belgium were scored by Leandro Trossard twice (28′, 50′), Kevin De Bruyne (66′), Romelu Lukaku (86′) and Alexis Saelemaekers (90′). New Zealand only responded with a goal by E. Just in the 84th minute of the match.
Belgium dominated the statistics with 35 shots, 10 of which were on target. New Zealand had 6 shots, but only 2 of them hit the target. Ball possession was 55% for Belgium and 45% for New Zealand. Despite two yellow cards for New Zealand, the match ended with a clear advantage for the Belgians, who confirmed their strength in the group.
Will Belgium seal promotion?
Belgium has much greater personnel potential, but so far it has not been able to translate its advantage into a set of points. Draws with Egypt and Iran made the last round a do-or-die game for the Red Devils.
New Zealand has nothing to lose and can play more bravely than in previous matches. This scenario should create more space for the Belgian attacking players, but at the same time increase the number of opportunities on both sides of the pitch.
This promises to be a very important meeting of Group G, which may determine Belgium’s advancement to the knockout phase or cause one of the biggest surprises of this part of the World Cup.
