Belgium's clinical finishing proved decisive in a one-sided International Friendly as the visitors demolished the United States 5-2 on 28 March. Both sides deployed 4-2-3-1 formations, but Belgium's superior execution in the final third separated the teams decisively. The away side dominated proceedings with 21 shots compared to the hosts' 12, while their expected goals tally of 2.69 significantly outpaced the United States' 1.62, reflecting their sustained attacking pressure. Belgium's cutting edge was particularly sharp through Dodi Lukebakio, who netted twice, and Charles De Ketelaere, who added another. The American goalkeeper managed a 60 per cent save rate from 10 shots on target conceded, yet Belgium's 10 shots on target still proved too much to contain. This comprehensive defeat exposed significant gaps in the United States' defensive structure and transition play. Belgium's dominance suggests formidable form ahead of upcoming fixtures.

Read it this way: PSxG conceded is how dangerous the shots on target were, Goals conceded is how many actually went in, Goals saved is the gap between the two (higher is better, a minus means he should have saved more), and Save % is the share of on-target shots kept out.
