Outstanding performance
Belgium•MidfielderBelgium were ruthless and relentless from the first whistle, controlling 66% of possession, registering 27 shots and creating five big chances against a Tunisia side that managed none. Leandro Trossard opened the scoring in the 28th minute to give the Red Devils a platform they never relinquished, and Charles De Ketelaere doubled the advantage just seven minutes into the second half. Tunisia's afternoon unravelled further when Ismaël Gharbi was dismissed on 62 minutes for a second bookable offence, and De Bruyne exploited the extra space immediately to make it three. A wave of substitutions in the second half did nothing to stem the Belgian tide, with Dodi Lukébakio and Nicolas Raskin both converting in the final ten minutes to complete a comprehensive rout. For Tunisia, the 120-22 dangerous attack disparity tells the story bluntly — they were simply outclassed in every department.
How entertaining was this match?
Belgium welcome Tunisia to the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels for a June friendly, with the Red Devils entering as clear favourites against a Tunisian side looking to build momentum. With the 2026 World Cup just weeks away, both nations will use this clash to fine-tune combinations and assess squad depth ahead of the tournament.
