Belgium did everything they could against the leaders in the group, but despite a huge advantage they could not get through. Afterwards there was a stirring whistle concert for the Red Devils, who also failed to beat North Macedonia in Skopje: 0-0.
Belgium has played one match less and also one point less than North Macedonia. Next Monday, our southern neighbors will take on Wales in Cardiff, which has one point less than Belgium. Be careful of the formation of Frenchman Rudi Garcia

Joshua Kimmich scored twice for Germany, once from a penalty. The other goals were scored by David Raum (free kick) and Serge Gnabry.
Slovakia, which won 2-0 against Germany last month, now lost in Belfast with the same figures against the Northern Irish due to an own goal by Patrik Hrosovsky and a goal by Trai Hume.
Kylian Mbappe
France also won the third match in group D; at home against Azerbaijan: 3-0. Kylian Mbappé made it 1-0 in injury time in the first half by starting a solo, getting the ball back at his feet via a teammate and sliding it into the corner. Adrien Rabiot and Florian Thauvin scored after the break.
