Belgium demolished Liechtenstein 6–0 in a World Cup qualifier, with the visitors' clinical finishing overwhelming their hosts' defensive setup. Youri Tielemans led the charge with two goals, while Kevin De Bruyne, Maxim De Cuyper and Arthur Theate each added one in a dominant display. Belgium registered 24 shots on target and accumulated 3.93 xG, translating that quality into a ruthless scoreline; Liechtenstein managed nine shots but none found the target, their goalkeeper facing an onslaught of 24 attempts on goal and saving at 75 per cent. Playing in a 4–1–4–1 formation, Belgium controlled proceedings through De Bruyne's creativity and midfield dominance, while Liechtenstein's 5–3–2 setup proved insufficient to contain the onslaught. The gulf in class was evident from start to finish, with the visitors' attacking threat simply too much for their opponents to handle. Belgium's clinical finishing and defensive solidity underline their World Cup credentials.
