Belgium took a very early lead on a Thomas Meunier goal and over bettors were feeling pretty good from the get-go. However, the pace really slowed down and England weren't able to muster much the entire match. Eden Hazard put Belgium up, 2-0, late in the second half and that was it.

It was the lowest scoring third-place match since 1974 when Poland beat Brazil, 1-0.
