Red Devils narrowly slip past Norway
Belgium
23:10 05/06/2016
The Belgian Red Devils on Sunday won their last friendly match before the start of the European Championship (Euro 2016) later this week by beating Norway 3-2 in a sold-out King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels.
Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring in the third minute. But two subsequent goals by Norway's Joshua King and Veton Berisha quickly quieted the red-clad crowd. Finally, a header by Red Devil Eden Hazard evened the score until teammate Laurent Ciman (pictured above, middle) headed home the winning goal on a corner kick from Dries Mertens.
The Belgians take on Italy on 13 June in Lyon in the team's first Euro 2016 group match.
