Football - World Cup Qualifiers Europe - Group E - Czech Republic v Belgium - Eden Arena, Prague, Czech Republic - March 27, 2021. But Lukaku levelled in the 60th minute when he turned defender Ondrej Celustka and sent a shot that deflected off the keeper's right leg into the net. The draw left Belgium, who reached the semi-finals at the last World Cup in 2018, and the Czechs level on four points at the top of Group E after two games. It was a disappointing evening, however, for Belgium boss Roberto Martinez, who said his team fell below their usual high standards. For Belgium, Inter Milan striker Lukaku proved a threat throughout the match as the Czechs pressured the visitors high and looked to push forward in attack.
