Lukaku Leads Belgium to Round of 16
Belgium, led by Romelu Lukaku, has successfully advanced to the Round of 16, setting up a tantalizing clash with France. Lukaku, who spent last season on loan at Roma, was pivotal in Belgium's attack, playing the majority of the match before being substituted for Louis Openda during stoppage time.
Group E's Nail-Biting Finish
Group E saw all teams level on points heading into the final round, creating a suspenseful atmosphere. Romania’s 1-1 draw with Slovakia meant each team ended with four points.

Romania, finishing top of the group, and Belgium, in second, both move forward.
