Two years after losing the match for the third and fourth place of the 2018 World Cup in Russia Against Belgium, England defeated the team of Robert Martínez, in this case at Wembley and in a group 2 match of League A of the Nations League (2-1). Marcus Rashford (from penalty) and Mason Mount allowed Gareth Southgate's men to overcome Romelu Lukaku's goal (also from maximum penalty). Kevin de Bruyne. voted best player in the 2019-20 Premier League, he retired in 72 'with a physical problem.

The last two meetings between England and Belgium were at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, when the “red devils” were third after beating England 2-0. In the first phase, 0-1 for Robert Martínez's team. This Sunday it was England's turn.

Belgium was superior in the first half to England in the first half, by game and by occasions, with Atlético winger Yannick Carrasco creating danger with his internships. Carrasco had a goal disallowed for offside in the 12th minute. Harry Kane, with physical problems, started on the bench, but entered the 65 'for Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Belgium took the lead in the 16th minute thanks to a Romelu Lukaku penalty goal, which Eric Dier committed on the Inter striker himself. The advantage did justice to the football of Robert Martínez's team.

But the English team, much less dangerous in the first half than its rival, also achieved the 1-1 penalty, by Thomas Meunier's grip on Jordan Henderson. Marcus Rashford, in whose boots he carried messages for the children in poverty he has helped since the coronavirus pandemic began, transformed the penalty at 38 'and thus ended the first half.

England started dominating in the second half, with a good break from Rashford on a counterattack. but Dominic Calvert-Lewin shot high. The Premier's top scorer, who between Everton and the national team has already scored 10 goals this season, did not have his afternoon against Belgium. Kevin de Bruyne, voted best player in the 2019-20 Premier League, sent Carrasco a great pass, but the Atlético player shot wide.

The 'Red Devils' seemed to begin to approach the goal defended by Jordan Pickford again when, after a pass to the head of another Atlético player, Kieran Trippier (after a cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold), Mason Mount connected a spectacular shot that beat Simon Mignolet. A great goal. Kane was able to extend the lead.
