The hosts and the Belgian visitors could not be separated over 90 minutes, with both sides scoring once in a tight contest that underlined the group’s competitiveness. The result means each team takes a single point from the encounter, a potentially significant outcome in the battle for progression to the knockout phase or the safety net of third place.
