The US national team was upset at home by Belgium
World football continues to be enriched with constant news and unexpected events. Zamin.uz reports on this.
The friendly matches held within the dates set by FIFA for March were also rich in such historic and sensational results. In particular, the match against Belgium turned into a real test for the US national team, which will host next year's World Cup.
The American players, playing on their home turf, unexpectedly suffered a heavy defeat. The US team under the management of Mauricio Pochettino failed in their battle against a strong opponent right before the eyes of their fans.
The match took place under the complete dominance of the Belgians throughout, and in the end, they emerged victorious with a score of 2:5. During the game, US players Weston McKennie and Patrick Agyemang managed to score goals, but this was not enough to equalize the score.
The Belgian national team decided the game with precise strikes from star players such as Zeno Debast, Amadou Onana, Charles De Ketelaere, and Dodi Lukebakio. This result holds a very important place in the history of US football.
The heaviest defeat recorded on their own field since 1959 occurred in this match. Such a result once again confirmed that there is still much work to be done for head coach Pochettino before the World Cup.
Despite the fact that experienced players like Matt Turner, Christian Pulisic, and others took to the field in the team lineup, mistakes in defense and attack were decisive factors. The Belgian national team further demonstrated their strength and experience, securing victory by the end of the match.
