What a strike from Zeno Debast! Sporting star shines for Belgium (video) | OneFootball

Belgium beat the United States 5-2 in Atlanta in a friendly match in which Sporting star Zeno Debast stood out. The North American side took the lead in the 39th minute through Weston McKennie, but the Europeans responded before half-time.

The Alvalade club centre-back made it 1-1 in the 45th minute, sparking Belgium’s comeback and scoring his first goal for his country. In the second half, Amadou Onana, in the 53rd minute, and Charles De Ketelaere, in the 59th, extended the lead.

Dodi Lukebakio then took centre stage, scoring in the 68th and 82nd minutes to make it 5-1. Near the end, Patrick Agyemang pulled one back to make it 5-2 in the 87th minute. Debast, meanwhile, was eventually substituted in the 62nd minute, with Nathan Ngoy coming on.

At the World Cup, Belgium are in Group G alongside Iran, New Zealand and Egypt. The United States, hosts of the tournament together with Mexico and Canada, are in Group D with Paraguay, Australia and the winner of the tie between Kosovo and Turkey.

This season, Zeno Debast - valued at €30 million - has made 16 official appearances for Sporting. So far, the Belgium international has played 928 minutes, but is still without a goal or assist to his name.
