In the first round of Group E matches at the Euros, Romelu Lukaku missed three gilt-edged chances and had two goals disallowed, resulting in Belgium’s surprising 0-1 loss to Slovakia.
Data shows that Belgium squandered four clear-cut goal-scoring opportunities in this match (with Lukaku responsible for three). This is the first time since their encounter with Spain in 1980 (also four missed chances) that Belgium has missed so many great opportunities in a Euro fixture, setting an awkward team record spanning 44 years.
Belgium has trailed 0-1 in the main stage of the Euros on 10 occasions, losing eight of those games (with one draw and one win). Furthermore, in nine instances where they were behind at halftime in the Euros, they have lost eight of those matches. The only time they came back from either trailing 0-1 or being down at halftime in the Euros was in the 2-1 victory over Denmark at the 2020 tournament.
