Belgium eliminated from the World cup 2022 after after goalless draw with Croatia

After Thursday's 0-0 stalemate with Croatia, which advanced the 2018 runners-up to the knockout round, Belgium exited the World Cup in the group stage, as Romelu Lukaku missed a string of late opportunities. In the opening moments of a mostly boring first half, VAR controversially overturned a penalty award against Croatia. As Zlatko Dalic's team relied on luck to win, the game was altered by the introduction of Romelu Lukaku at halftime, but he made three terrible mistakes.
