Belgium just got knocked out of the World Cup at the group stage as Croatia progressed at their expense with a 0:0 draw in Qatar.
Belgium's journey in the World Cup came to an early end at the group stage as Croatia advanced in their place following a goalless draw in Qatar. Despite being the second-ranked team globally, Roberto Martinez's squad had a disappointing tournament, securing only one victory in three matches.
Their lackluster performance continued against Croatia, where a win was essential for advancement to the last 16. Even with substitute Romelu Lukaku getting multiple chances in the second half, he failed to capitalize. Lukaku, still regaining full fitness from an injury, missed opportunities, including poking a shot wide and reacting too late to a ball in front of goal during stoppage time.
