Who will Belgium face in quarter-final of FIFA World Cup 2026 after beating USA?

The Red Devils secured a spot in the last eight with a 4-1 victory!

Led by Rudi Garcia, the Belgium national football team went head-to-head against the United States football team for their round of 16 matchup. This 2026 FIFA World Cup game took place at the Seattle Stadium.

With the United States of America getting eliminated from the mega competition, all of the co-hosts are now out of the race to clinch the 2026 FIFA World Cup title. There was a slight hope for the Yanks to stage a comeback, but a defensive blunder only made things worse. They conceded an early goal, and this unleashed pressure on them.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men came up with an equaliser after Malik Tillman scored a sensational free-kick. But just minutes later, the Belgian Red Devils answered with another goal. Charles De Ketelaere completed his brace.

They were up ahead in the first half once again. Hans Vanaken scored the third goal after USA’s defensive blunder. Romelu Lukaku increased the tally to four goals in stoppage time.

Things are going to be tough now for Rudi Garcia’s men. The Spaniards haven’t conceded a goal in the ongoing campaign of the flagship tournament. The Belgians will surely be looking for a better strategy against La Roja.
