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.

Yildiz tries an effort from distance, but it flies over.
Silva gets away down the right and clips the cross to Ronaldo, but he just gets ahead of it as he jumps and can’t direct it goalwards.

Portugal look more likely to extend their lead than concede at the moment. You wonder whether it’s worth it for Vincenzo Montella to even try getting anything from this now.
He has made another two changes though, as Ayhan and Aktürkoğlu come off for Yuksek and Yildiz.

Sloppy from Turkey, with Celik playing Ronaldo onside and then slipping.
It’s looking very comfortable for Portugal now.

GOAL! And that should be that.
Another gift for Portugal, and it’s so simple. Dias has the ball in his own half, close to halfway. He spots Ronaldo making the run, and he’s curved it perfectly to stay onside. He’s one-v-one and squares it to Fernandes, who taps into an empty net.

Vitinha has had a poor few minutes, but he gets lucky as the foul is given when he’d lost the ball near the touchline.

Vitinha tries playing though Fernandes for the ball across goal, but again his pass is overhit.
Turkey attack and Yazici has his first effort since coming on, but it’s straight at Costa.

Pepe concedes a corner early on, but Dias heads away the in-swinging delivery. Portugal are inches away from being clean through on goal, but Vitinha’s pass to Fernandes is overhit.
