Belgium and Egypt play to a 1-1 draw, with Belgium responding after going behind. Sources report that Belgium equalize after the introduction of Romelu Lukaku, who makes an immediate impact late in the match. According to the match accounts, Lukaku’s first meaningful contribution comes within seconds of coming on, disrupting Egypt’s play and helping create the conditions for an Egypt mistake that results in an own goal. The goal then brings Belgium level, salvaging a draw after they conceded earlier.
The reports also describe Mohamed Salah’s involvement for Egypt, noting that his role is adjusted during the game and that he influences Egypt’s approach in ways that require tactical responses from Belgium. However, the final outcome remains the same across the accounts: Belgium secure a point through an equaliser that follows a rapid shift after Lukaku enters the pitch.
Overall, the match is characterized by a late momentum change for Belgium and by Egypt’s earlier lead being undone by a defensive error following Lukaku’s introduction.
