Rampant Belgium Knock Hosts USA Out of World Cup with 4-1 Victory
Belgium ended the hosts’ World Cup run with a commanding 4-1 win in Seattle. Folarin Balogun, back from suspension, could not rescue the US as they were outplayed in a high-stakes Round of 16 match. Charles De Ketelaere struck early in the ninth minute. Malik Tillman levelled briefly with a swerving free-kick, but De Ketelaere headed Belgium ahead again before half-time. A second-half error from goalkeeper Matt Freese gifted Hans Vanaken a simple tap-in, and Romelu Lukaku sealed the comprehensive win in stoppage time. Christian Pulisic limped off injured as the hosts bowed out and Belgium sealed their place in the quarter-finals.
