Euro 2024: Slovakia Stuns Belgium as Lukaku’s Goal is Disallowed Twice

Belgium’s Euro 2024 campaign took a significant hit with a 1-0 defeat to Slovakia at Deutsche Bank Park, compounded by two disallowed goals from star striker Romelu Lukaku.

The match began disastrously for Belgium when Ivan Schranz capitalized on a poor pass by Jeremy Doku, giving Slovakia an early lead.

Ivan Schranz’s goal, scored just minutes into the game, set the tone for a challenging evening for the Red Devils.

Romelu Lukaku thought he had equalized twice, but both attempts were disallowed, adding to Belgium’s frustration. His first goal was ruled out for offside, a decision met with dismay by Belgian supporters.

The second disallowed goal came after a review by the snickometer, which detected a handball in the build-up.

Despite Belgium’s efforts to break through Slovakia’s defense, the Slovakians held firm to secure all three points in the Group E encounter.

The loss leaves Belgium with a mountain to climb in their Euro 2024 campaign, needing to regroup and refocus for their upcoming matches.
