USMNT 2-5 Belgium: USA humbled by clinical Red Devils
Mauricio Pochettino has plenty of thinking to do as the USMNT took the lead but then Belgium turned on the style.
The USMNT lost 5-2 to Belgium in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday as Mauricio Pochettino was given plenty of food for thought just over two months until the 2026 World Cup begins. WATCH — Full replay Weston McKennie gave the USMNT a first half lead in an end-to-end encounter but Zeno Deblast equalized right on half time and that swung the game in Belgium's favor. Rudi Garcia's Belgium were rampant in the second half with Jeremy Doku the chief creator as Amadou Onana put them ahead moments after Christian Pulisic blasted a great chance over.
Soon after Charles De Ketelaere made it 3-1 from the penalty spot after a handball call on Tim Ream, then substitute Dodi Lukebakio curled home a beauty and slotted home another after a poor U. S. clearance to make it 5-1 as things got out of hand quickly.
Patrick Agyemang scored a late consolation goal to make it 5-2 but that came after plenty of subs were made and the damage was done. USMNT vs Belgium score: 2-5 McKennie 39', Agyemang 87'; Debast 45', Onana 53', De Ketelaere 60', Lukebakio 68', 82' Tielemans give the ball away and Agyemang scores Youri Tielemans gives the ball away under pressure from Ricardo Pepi and it falls straight to Patrick Agyemang who slots home. 5-2 to Belgium.
