USA — Belgium

ILumen Field yabamba umoya imizuzu eyisishiyagalolunye. Kwase kuphefumula uCharles De Ketelaere egameni lesikhathi sonke — futhi umoya awuzange ubuye ngempela kubasingathi. Nansi into exakayo ngalo mdlalo: i-USA iqede nompetha abangama-56% kanye nokunemba kwamapasi okungama-87%, ilawula cishe izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zebhola ngemuva kwekhefu. Ngokubhaliwe, iqembu eliqhudelanayo. I-xG isitshela indaba ehlukile — 0.67 uma kuqhathaniswa ne-2.15 yaseBelgium. AbaseMelika bahambisa ibhola eceleni, emuva, futhi kunqabile eduze kwanoma yini eyingozi. Azikho izinguquko ezinkulu phakathi nemizuzu engama-90. IBelgium yawina lo mdlalo ngendlela udokotela ohlinzayo anqoba ngayo — ngokunembile, ngaphandle kwedrama, kuze kube yikhwela lokugcina. UDe Ketelaere wayeyisikali. Amagoli amabili emizuzwini engama-24, isilinganiso esingu-8.11, ethola izikhala phakathi kwemigqa yaseMelika leyo inkundla eyayingenakuyivala. Igoli likaMalik Tillman ngomzuzu wama-31 linikeze iLumen Field isikhashana sokukholwa kwangempela — kwase kuphendula uDe Ketelaere ngemuva kwemizuzu emibili. Leso sikhathi semizuzu emibili phakathi kwethemba nokushaywa esiswini sizohlala sihlupha abalandeli baseMelika isikhathi eside. Ikhadi eliphuzi likaMcKennie ngomzuzu wama-35 libambe isimo: izinzwa ziqala ukudideka, isimo sihlakazeka. IBelgium yayingaphelele. Bachitha amabili ezingozini zabo ezinkulu ezine, u-Onana wakhishwa ngomzuzu wama-21, futhi ukunemba kwamapasi abo okungama-81% kubonakala kuphansi eqenjini elibusayo. Engxenyeni yesibili, i-USA icindezela ukuya kuma-64% okubamba ibhola, iBelgium yahlehla kakhulu kunalokho umqeqeshi wayengathanda. Igoli likaHans Vanaken ngomzuzu wama-57 — elishaywe ngobuhlakani ngemuva kokungena njengomdlali oshintshile — liqede umdlalo njengomncintiswano wangempela. Isikhashana se-VAR esibandakanya uBalogun ngomzuzu wama-45 sizodala impikiswano. Isinqumo saphikisana neqembu lasekhaya ngesikhathi sekhefu — sibuke futhi uzikhethele, kodwa isikhathi sasingeke sibe buhlungu kakhulu. ULukaku wakugcwalisa ngesikhathi sokunqamula. IBelgium ihlale inalo leli khadi ephaketheni layo. Ku-FootLegion, wonke amagoli aseBelgium kulobubusuku agcinwe eqoqweni lakho — futhi ngokungafani nasenkundleni, akekho obathathayo. Imibuzo emibili yamazwana: Ingabe isinqumo se-VAR sasiyisikhathi esibalulekile sokuguqula izinto, noma i-USA yayingaphansi ngandlela thile? Futhi ingabe lesi sizukulwane saseBelgium singakwazi ekugcineni ukuya kude?
