This offensive resurgence marks a significant turnaround for Belgium, often referred to as the Red Devils.

This marks the first time since their third-place finish in the 2018 World Cup that Belgium has scored in three consecutive matches.
The World Cup knockout stage, which began with 32 teams, operates on a single-elimination format. The field will progressively narrow until a champion is determined, with only a third-place playoff game for the semifinal losers. All games are being broadcast in the United States on Fox and FS1.
