In the heated battle of Group F of the Europa League qualifiers, Belgium narrowly beat Austria 3-2 on the road in the early hours of Saturday (14th), successfully realizing a fourth consecutive win and locking up the ticket for next year's final week two rounds ahead of schedule. In the match, Belgian striker Lukaku once again showed his miraculous performance, scoring two goals, making him 10 goals in the past nine matches, which is a heroic performance.
Belgium's offense remained sharp despite the loss of central midfielder Chieun Dibny. Striker Luke Baggio, who plays for Xavier, scored twice in the first and second halves, and Lukaku scored again in the 58th minute to give Belgium a 3-0 lead. However, the Austrian midfielder Dryat Reimaa pulled a goal back to break the deadlock as the team known as the "Red Devils of Europe" let up a bit. In addition, midfielder Amadou Oonana was shown a red card in the 78th minute, leaving Belgium in disarray. In the 84th minute, Belgium was penalized for a 12-yard penalty, and Schaubisa hit the penalty kick to bring the score to 2-3. In such a tense moment, Belgium still managed to keep the victory and successfully seized the opportunity to go out of the tournament.
