With the former Ajax players Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen in the base, the Belgians first fell behind at home again. The Polish goalscorer Robert Lewandowski gave his team the lead on the pass of Sebastian Szymanski after half an hour of play. The Poles were unable to take the advantage into the dressing room before half-time, as Axel Witsel scored the equalizer three minutes before the half-time signal.
Kevin De Bruyne put Belgium in the lead after just under an hour. Leandro Trossard then scored twice, after which Leander Dendoncker and Vitesse striker Loïs Openda also put their name on the scoreboard. Both countries from the group of the Dutch national team will meet again next Tuesday, but on Polish soil. Lewandowski and his teammates will face the Orange in De Kuip for the first time on Saturday, while the Belgians will play against Wales on that day.
