Lukaku scores classy goal, Belgium team struggles to draw with Austria

Welcoming Austria at home, the Belgian team was missing many key players in midfield, notably the star who had just won the Champions League with Man City, De Bruyne. Therefore, throughout the first half, the Belgian team's midfield and forwards had almost no connection. Coach Domenico Tedesco's team appeared to be stuck and only launched inaccurate long-range shots.

Not only that, the Belgian team also conceded a goal in the first half. In the 21st minute, from a corner kick, the ball came to the feet of Michael Gregoritsch of the Austrian team and this player quickly kicked. The ball hit midfielder Orel Mangala's foot and changed direction, leaving goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois helpless as the ball went into the net.

In the 61st minute, Lukaku received the ball from Dodi Lukebakio before turning around, shooting from outside the penalty area, sending the ball into the far corner of the goal, equalizing the score 1-1 of the match. Notably, with the "cannon shot" against the Austrian team, Lukaku has scored in all 3 recent matches for the Belgian team. At the same time, he continued to increase his scoring record for the Belgian team to 73 goals in 108 matches.
