The highly anticipated match between England and Belgium ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw, leaving fans on the edge of their seats until the final whistle. Both teams displayed exceptional skill and determination throughout the game, showcasing why they are considered among the best in international football.
England took an early lead with a goal from Harry Kane, but Belgium quickly responded with two goals of their own from Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne. The intensity of the match only increased as England fought back to equalize with a goal from Marcus Rashford.
The match between third-ranked England and their fourth-ranked opponents had a completely different feel to Saturday's flat affair, where England barely mustered a shot against Brazil and the tone was set after 20 seconds when Toney fired over from a Jarrod Bowen cross.
Belgium, sporting a bizarre kit of light blue shirts and brown shorts against England's charcoal grey, went ahead when a mis-hit clearance by Jordan Pickford went straight to Amadou Onana and then fell for Tielemans who stroked it into the empty net.
Three days on from the late loss to Brazil, the absentee-hit Euro 2020 runners-up faced another high-level test as the side third in FIFA's world rankings hosted the team in fourth. England were heading for another Wembley defeat after Youri Tielemans punished first-half errors either side of Ivan Toney's penalty, only for Bellingham to secure a 2-2 draw in stoppage time.
Gareth Southgate's side lost out to Brazil over the weekend and the Three Lions will be looking for a reaction against a Belgium team which drew 0-0 in Dublin.
England's plans have been disrupted by more injury concerns and Southgate could name an experimental line up as he chases a victory in London.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.
Questions still remain for the Euro 2024 favourites. Southgate's record against top 10 nations now reads seven wins, seven draws, and 11 defeats and with time starting to run out, there is still plenty to be resolved ahead of the tournament in Germany this summer.
