International Friendlies: Belgium make lightweight of Egypt, Czech Republic stun Nigeria

Belgium secured a 3-0 win over Egypt in Wednesday night’s international friendly at the King Baudouin Stadium.

The visitors, missing the injured Mohamed Salah , sought to impose themselves on their opponents from the off, but in the end goals from Lukaku, Hazard and Fellaini sealed victory for Belgium.

Belgium face Costa Rica on Monday night in their final friendly before the World Cup, while Egypt’s next game is their Group A opener against Uruguay on June 15.

Nigeria suffered a 1-0 defeat to the Czech Republic in their final warm-up match before the World Cup in Russia.

Chelsea defender Tomas Kalas scored the only goal of the game in the first half.

Nigeria also lost 2-1 to England at Wembley last weekend, while the Czechs – who failed to qualify for the World Cup – lost 4-0 to Australia in their previous friendly outing.

Nigeria will face Argentina, Croatia and Iceland in Group D in Russia.
