Belgium v Romania LIVE: Euro 2024 result and final score as Kevin De Bruyne goal seals crucial Group E win
Belgium 2-0 Romania: The Red Devils picked up their first points of Euro 2024 as Youri Tielemens struck inside two minutes before De Bruyne wrapped up victory
Belgium got their Euro 2024 campaign back on track after an impressive 2-0 win against Romania, with goals from Youri Tielemans and Kevin De Bruyne enough to take the points and leave Group E wide open.
Romelu Lukaku was the architect of the first Belgian goal and teed Tielemans up perfectly to fire home a superb effort from just inside the area in the second minute.
De Bruyne had chances throughout a polished Belgian performance and doubled the lead with 10 minutes left when he latched on to a long ball from goalkeeper Koen Casteels and found the net from seven metres out.
The result leaves all four teams in Group E on three points going into the Wednesday’s final matches, when Belgium take on Ukraine and Romania face Slovakia.

CLOSE!
Turkey switch the play brilliantly and it comes to Çelik on the right of the box. He swings the ball across goal early and Aktürkoğlu is diving in, but he can’t get clean contact on it from around four yards out, and somehow it stays out!

Instant boos whenever Portugal get on the ball.
Portugal have the first meaningful attack as Bernardo Silva clips a hopeful ball across to Ronaldo. He manages to get to it to hit the volley cleanly, but it’s straight at Bayindir.
