Belgium, which has recently been in a slump, was also defeated by Israel.
On the 18th (Korea time), Israel beat Belgium 1-0 in the final match of Group A of the 2024-2025 UEFA Nations League at the Bozyshik Arena in Budapest, Hungary.
Israel has reproduced its scoreless defense, which secured a 0-0 draw against France on Saturday. Goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, a promising Bayern Munich player, defended the goal with overwhelming defense capabilities. On top of that, Yarden Sua, a Korean striker who was substituted in the 41st minute of the second half, scored his debut goal in the A-match game, and achieved better-than-expected results.
For Belgium, it was true that key stars Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, Charles de Ketelahr, Jeremy Doku, Yuri Tillemence, and Amadou Onana were all absent. Lukaku, Doku and de Ketelahr were selected for the November list, but nine players were injured during the match. Twenty-three players can be registered for the match entry, but the players were so poor that only 19 players played on the day.
However, from 비아그라‘s point of view, the absence of key players is a constant, not a variable, as many of them were veteran players and often injured. It is undeniable that the team failed to properly deal with this issue throughout the Nations League.
In the end, Belgium ended the tournament with poor performance of one win, one draw and four losses. After beating Israel in the first round, the team had no win (one draw and three losses) against France and Italy in four matches, and lost the final match.
On the other hand, Israel lost all four games in the beginning, but it ended with a draw against France and a victory against Belgium in November.
After acquiring the same points and the same score as Belgium, Israel lost to the fourth place due to goal difference. Belgium avoided automatic demotion, but must play in the relegation play-off.
Domenico Tedesco, a once-anticipated young master, sought to revive the Belgian national team when he took over, but lost face due to poor Nations League performance following an ambiguous performance of eliminating the round of 16 in Euro 2024.
