Belgium began the match on a high note, exhibiting their exceptional attacking skills and outplaying Germany in the first half. In the sixth minute, the Belgian team scored the opening goal with an impressive five-pass move starting from deep in their own half.

Kevin De Bruyne's Brilliance Sets Up Romelu Lukaku's Goal

Shortly after, Belgium doubled their lead with Romelu Lukaku's goal after Kevin De Bruyne slipped the ball through the German defence.

The German team earned a penalty on the stroke of half-time, which forward Niclas Fullkrug converted for his sixth goal in six international matches. However, the hosts conceded another goal as Kevin De Bruyne finished from another swift Belgian move, catching the German defence off guard again.

Despite Serge Gnabry's late goal in the 88th minute, the German team could not overturn the deficit. New Belgian coach Domenico Tedesco won his second match in a row with this victory.
