The co-hosts' tournament ended in comprehensive fashion. Charles De Ketelaere's early goal set the tone, and although Malik Tillman's 31st-minute equalizer briefly gave the home crowd hope, De Ketelaere restored the lead two minutes later and the USA never got closer. The USA actually shaded the general territorial numbers — more possession (56% to 44%) — and leaned heavily on their left flank (55% of attacking output), but that width barely created a chance (0.08 xG all game). Belgium's central patch, using only a sliver of their own output, was clinical by comparison: 2.02 expected goals and 12 shots from just 17 entries. Hans Vanaken added a third after the break, and Romelu Lukaku, off the bench, finished it in stoppage time. A big scoreline against the hosts, and a reminder that Belgium's golden generation still has teeth.
