Stop-time lightning shatters the Red Devils ambitions! North Macedonia s iron wall stages a counterattack in the European preliminaries

When Aliosky's right foot drew across the turf and the football drew a deadly arc in the night sky, the expression of the entire Belgian team solidified into a failed statue. In the early morning of June 7, in the World Cup European Qualifiers, Belgium, the world's fifth-ranked "Red Devils", was tied 1-1 by North Macedonia, which was ranked 62nd in the world, at the last moment. This dramatic showdown once again witnessed the shocking moment of the birth of an unpopular. At the beginning of the game, Belgium showed the dominance of the giants, and stars such as Lukaku and Balshi took turns to launch an attack on opponents' goals. However, North Macedonia's defense line is like a wall of iron, resolving crises time and time again. In the 27th minute, North Macedonia staged a suffocating "two-pillars terror". Hermas and Balshi's shots hit the post one after another, which made the Belgian goalkeeper sweat in a cold sweat. These two moments of passing the goal seemed to indicate the extraordinaryness of this game.

But Belgium did not let the opportunity slip away for too long, and in the 29th minute, Dekuyepe seized the opportunity in the corner melee and broke the deadlock with a fill-up shot. After the goal, the Belgian players shouted, and the fans in the stands were also excited, as if victory was within reach. With a 1-0 lead, Belgium entered the second half, and they thought they could easily win the game as long as they defended the defense line. However, North Macedonian players did not give up. At the beginning of the second half, they launched a fierce counterattack. In the 48th minute, Elmas' goal was judged invalid, which not only did not hit the morale of North Macedonian players, but instead made them more eager to score. In the subsequent games, North Macedonia continued to create opportunities, while Belgium seemed a little conservative, frequently substitutions to adjust the lineup, trying to defend the victory. The game entered injury time, and Belgium's defense showed a fatal loophole. Alioski received a pass from his teammates outside the 30m. He didn't hesitate at all and directly shot! The ball was like a shell that was out of the box, slapped straight into the dead corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Courtois was beyond the reach. North Macedonian players celebrated wildly, while Belgian players stood there, unable to believe everything in front of them.

This 1-1 draw was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Belgium. They not only missed a good start, but also exposed the team's problems on the defensive end. North Macedonia proved its strength in European football with its tenacious performance. This game has once again proved to the world that in the world of football, there are no eternal strong people, nor eternal weak people, and every game is full of unknowns and surprises.

When the final whistle sounded, the players on both sides were completely different. North Macedonia left the stadium with pride and joy, while Belgium embarked on the way home with regret and reflection. This game is destined to become a classic battle in the European qualifiers of this World Cup, and will also inspire more "weak teams" to bravely pursue their dreams on the football stage.
