Belgium had full control against Russia, and Romelu Lukaku marked the dream start with a greeting to his teammate at Inter.
Belgia – Russia 3-0
The football world was shaken after the incident that hit Christian Eriksen and Denmark in the match against Finland.
But the Belgians delivered a solid match and eventually won comfortably 3-0, after two goals by Romelu Lukaku and one goal by Thomas Meunier. Lukaku sent a greeting into the camera to Danish Eriksen after his first goal.
– Chris, Chris, be strong, I love you, Lukaku shouted into the camera.
– I was scared, and cried a lot when I saw the news. My thoughts were with him and his family, and that was the achievement for him, Lukaku said after the match.
The Russians dropped selection
It all started with the Russians refraining from showing their support for racism, and the Belgian players were left alone on their knees after the referee had started the match. That to a big pipe concert from the audience.
– The Russians remain standing, and this marking is becoming very controversial. But it is up to each team if they want to mark it, said TV2’s Øyvind Alsaker after the incident.
