📝 2026 World Cup: overnight round-up | OneFootball

Every morning, OneFootball brings you a full recap of the night at the World Cup.

The night's must-see moment

Tonight, a large part of the footballing world was glued to their screens, hoping Belgium would do football justice, and now it has.

Our Belgian friends even treated themselves to two top-tier trolls during their big win over the USA. First of all, while celebrating his goal, Romelu Lukaku mimed a phone call, most likely in reference to the call Donald Trump made to Gianni Infantino to get Folarin Balogun's red card overturned.

His teammates then came over to celebrate by all doing... the Trump Dance!

Finally, the official Twitter account of the Belgian national team added the finishing touch by tweeting "Overturn this", a reference once again to Folarin Balogun's red card.

The night's result

United States 1-4 Belgium

The 3 players who stood out

After what had so far been a more than difficult tournament, Charles De Ketelaere came out of his shell by making the difference three times against the United States with a brace and an assist.

Building on his strong finish against Senegal, Leandro Trossard was a constant menace to the American defense. He also ended the match with an assist.

Finally, Romelu Lukaku shone through both his footballing qualities and his wind-up skills. By scoring after coming off the bench, he became the first Belgian in history to score three or more goals at multiple different World Cups.
