The Red Devils Roar in Brussels

Was there ever any doubt? Belgium didn't just warm up; they exploded. Ahead of their World Cup opener against Egypt, the two-time semifinalists turned King Baudouin Stadium into a cauldron of red fury, dismantling Tunisia 5-0 in a statement performance that screams championship intent. This wasn't a friendly. This was a warning shot to the world stage.

De Bruyne Orchestrates the Carnage

Rudi Garcia’s tactical setup was a masterclass in precision. With Charleroi’s Charleroi De Ketelaere leading the line, the flares of Leandro Trossard and Jeremy Doku tore through the Tunisian defense like a hot knife through butter. Trossard broke the deadlock in the 28th minute, capitalizing on Doku’s blistering run. The message was clear: Belgium is hungry.

Brendan Mechele missed a header from a Kevin De Bruyne pass, but the Belgian maestro wasn't done. De Ketelaere doubled the lead in the 53rd with a clinical header from a Youri Tielemans assist. Then, chaos struck for the visitors. Ismail Garbi picked up a second yellow in the 62nd, reducing Tunisia to ten men and sealing their fate.

History Written in Gold

De Bruyne struck in the 65th to make it 3-0, showcasing his enduring brilliance. Substitutes Dodi Lukebakio and Nikola Raskin added the polish in the 83rd and 87th minutes, turning the scoreline into a historic 5-0 rout. Belgium has now gone 13 matches without a defeat. As they prepare for their group stage clash with Egypt, Iran, and New Zealand, the Red Devils aren't just ready—they're terrifying. Tunisia, meanwhile, faces a nightmare group with the Netherlands, Japan, and Sweden, but tonight, the spotlight belongs solely to Brussels.
