Romelu Lukaku, Belgium's substitute captain, scored two goals within three minutes and Johan Bakayoko added his first international goal, leading the team to a 3-0 victory over Estonia in the qualifiers for the 2024 European Championship on Tuesday. Tension had arisen between new Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco and veteran goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois before the match, and Belgium started the game sluggishly before Lukaku netted two close-range goals at the end of the first half.
Austria tops the group with 10 points from 4 matches, while Belgium is in second place with 7 points from 3 matches. Belgium took the lead when Lukaku capitalized on a cross, and minutes later he made the score 2-0 following a low cross from the left side.
