Belgium narrowly avoided a shock defeat against Egypt after substitute Romelu Lukaku made an immediate impact in their FIFA World Cup Group G clash. Egypt looked set for a famous victory after taking the lead and frustrating the Belgian attack for much of the match. However, Lukaku’s introduction changed the momentum, with Belgium finding a late equaliser to secure a 1-1 draw. The result spared the Red Devils from a major upset but raised concerns over their performance. Egypt earned a valuable point and impressed with a disciplined display against one of Europe’s top sides.
