Belgium sent a strong message to its rivals ahead of the 2026 World Cup by securing a resounding 5-0 victory over Tunisia in a friendly match held on Saturday evening at King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels.
The Belgian team displayed impressive attacking performance throughout the match, while Tunisia struggled to keep pace with the hosts, who controlled the game from the outset.
Leandro Trossard opened the scoring for Belgium just before halftime, and Charles De Ketelaere doubled the lead early in the second half, providing his team with a comfortable advantage in both score and performance.
Belgium continued to apply pressure, with Kevin De Bruyne adding the third goal. Dodi Lukebakio and Nicolas Raskin capped off the scoring with two late goals in quick succession.
Tunisia faced further difficulties when they were reduced to ten men after Ismail Ghazali received a red card in the 62nd minute, allowing Belgium to exploit the extra space and extend their lead.
This match was part of both teams’ preparations for the upcoming World Cup. Tunisia is placed in Group F alongside the Netherlands, Japan, and Sweden, while Belgium competes in Group G with Egypt, Iran, and New Zealand.
The encounter also held historical significance as it marked the fifth meeting between the two nations. Belgium now leads their head-to-head record with three wins compared to Tunisia’s one victory and one draw.
