Belgium’s World Cup campaign takes a difficult turn as goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is injured and leaves the pitch, with Manchester United’s Senne Lammens brought on to replace him. Multiple outlets report that Lammens makes his debut in a high-stakes quarter-final against Spain. Following Courtois’s withdrawal, Lammens plays the remainder of the match as Belgium ultimately lose to Spain. One report describes Courtois as being in tears as he departs, and another characterizes Lammens’s performance as a “nightmare” or “nightmare debut.” The accounts also mention that Spain scores a decisive late goal, with Mikel Merino identified as the goalscorer. At the time of the winning strike, the reports point to an error involving Lammens, who is said to have made a mistake that contributes to Spain’s late success. Across the sources, the key storyline centers on Courtois’s injury, Lammens’s introduction, and Spain’s late winner in a quarter-final defeat for Belgium.
