GolVolt Recap

Belgium dismantled New Zealand 5-1 in Vancouver, turning this Group G fixture into a brutal formality. Leandro Trossard broke the deadlock on 28 minutes and doubled his tally right after Marko Stamenić’s 46th-minute booking. Kevin De Bruyne added a third on 66 minutes to bury the contest. Elijah Just snatched an 84th-minute consolation for the Kiwis despite carrying a yellow card, but Belgium ruthlessly answered through Romelu Lukaku in the 86th and Alexis Saelemaekers deep into stoppage time. The heavyweights delivered exactly the demolition expected.
