Belgium advanced to the quarterfinals with a dominant 4-1 victory over the USA at Lumen Field in Seattle. Charles De Ketelaere proved the decisive force, scoring twice and earning player of the match honors with an 8.3 rating. The Belgian winger struck early in the ninth minute, then added a second before the half-hour mark to establish control. Antonee Robinson's own goal compounded USA's struggles midway through the second half before Romelu Lukaku sealed the result in stoppage time. The Americans pulled one back through Folsom Tillman's header but never mounted a sustained challenge, managing only two shots on goal despite 56 percent possession. Belgium's superior finishing and clinical execution delivered the knockout blow, with the visitors registering seven shots on target compared to the home side's two. The result sends Belgium forward while ending the USMNT's campaign.
