At the same time, referees overturned two goals from striker Romelu Lukaku after using VAR technology.
This defeat was Belgium’s first under Tedesco.
“We knew that one day we had to fail. Unfortunately, it happened today.
If I could choose, I would prefer to lose in a friendly match. We lost, it hurt a lot, because we didn’t deserve to lose. The guys really tried.

Lukaku can score goals, but he had no luck today. He is morally strong and will know how to deal with it.
If we had won, I could have expressed my opinion on the refereeing. But now I don’t want to sound like a loser, I don’t want to talk about the referees or the VAR. We trust them to make decisions,” Tedesco was quoted as saying by Sporza.
