Match Report
Belgium turned their final World Cup tune-up into a confidence-boosting rout, dismantling Tunisia 5-0 at the King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels. Leandro Trossard set the tone with a smart tap-in at 28 minutes, but it was the second half that really raised eyebrows.
Charles De Ketelaere doubled the lead around the hour mark, and Tunisia's task became impossible when Ghabri was dismissed after a second yellow for consecutive fouls on Tielemans and Doku. Kevin De Bruyne swept in a third (64'), fed by the irrepressible Jérémy Doku, before Dodi Lukebakio (84') and Nicolas Raskin (86') put the gloss on a commanding display.
Belgium head into the 2026 World Cup — their opener against Egypt is just nine days away — with a second straight clean sheet and genuine attacking momentum. For Tunisia, a heavy defeat and a player sent off makes for uncomfortable viewing ahead of a daunting group stage.
