United States 1-2 Belgium - World Cup 2026 live updates and latest as Charles De Ketelaere scores twice, Folarin Balogun involved

Belgium are already back in front!

Trossard gets down the left, dropping his shoulder before beating his man and delivers a beauty of a cross to De Ketelaere at the back post, who pounces to head home for his second of the game. Superb!

WOW! It's gone in!

Malik Tillman's effort glances off the Belgium wall and deflects past Thibaut Courtois.

USA won't care; they're back in it!

Christian Pulisic takes the game by the scruff of the neck and punches the ball into Balogun, who wins a foul around 25 yards out.

It's fairly central - this is a dangerous chance.

Let's see if Pochettino has managed to get through to his players...

A chance for Pochettino to have a much-needed chat with his players.

In the meantime, Cristiano Ronaldo has been speaking following Portugal's exit...

He managed to limp off but has retreated to the bench and is being consoled by his team-mates. Could that be the end of his World Cup?

Belgium forced into an early change.

We've got a brief pause in play whilst Amadou Onana receives treatment.

He landed awkwardly on his knee and this doesn't look too good for the Aston Villa midfielder. He looks in some discomfort.

Mauricio Pochettino does not look happy on the touchline.

His side have started sloppily and Belgium have dominated the action so far.

The Arsenal winger pulls the trigger from about 30 yards out and his effort sails over the bar.

That was the forward's first goal of the tournament... what a time to get it!

Belgium's pressure has paid off and they've taken an early lead!

USA can't clear their lines as Nicolas Raskin retrieves possession just inside the box on the left; he fizzes a low cross into the six-yard box for De Ketelaere to steer into an empty net.

The ball comes across from the right and Tielemans is unmarked in the box and swings for the ball, but scuffs his effort.

He couldn't get a clean connection and if he had, it could have been the opener.

Both teams are wearing their away strips tonight, considering there would have been a clash had USA sported their home shirt.

The USA are in an all-navy blue kit, while Belgium are in their light blue, pink and white strip.

Tielemans' shot on the edge of the box is blocked and cleared but only as far as Fulham's Timothy Castagne, who forces a solid save out of Matt Freese with a long-range effort.

We're underway!

The teams have emerged from the tunnel and the national anthems are underway at the Seattle Stadium.

Just a few more minutes until the action gets underway!

Former Belgium manager Roberto Martinez has left his post at Portugal following their defeat to Spain.

"It's the end of the cycle," he said. "It's important to have a new voice, a new leader.

"I take with myself the memories, and hope that Portugal has good memories in the three and a half years I was head coach of the team. It was the experience of my life.

"It had not been decided previously [that I would leave after the tournament].

Belgium reached the Round of 16, but it certainly wasn't easy.

With 86 minutes on the clock, they were 2-0 down against Senegal in the opening knockout round and heading out.

Romelu Lukaku and Tielemans both struck in the final few minutes, before the latter converted a controversial 121st-minute penalty to send The Red Devils through...

Garcia has decided to go without both De Bruyne and Doku in a surprising couple of changes.

Both players have been heavily involved from the start of the tournament, with De Bruyne starting all games to this point, while Doku has started three of Belgium's four games.

Trossard starts the game on his preferred left-hand side, while Dodi Lukebakio has been deployed on the right, with Tielemans likely in the hole.

Belgium head coach Rudi Garcia criticised FIFA's decision to suspend Balogun's one-game ban.
