GOALKEEPER
Koen Casteels – 7 – Was never really tested, but did well when he was needed. Reacted very well to Malinovskyi’s corner.
DEFENDERS
Timothy Castagne – 6 – Defended well when needed, but didn’t contribute enough to attack.
Wout Faes – 6 – Did well when he was needed in order to defend, nothing extraordinary apart from that
Jan Vertonghen – 5.5 – Was average, just like the rest of his defensive line
Arthur Theate – 6 – Could be a weakling when Belgium face tougher sides in the competition
MIDFIELDERS
Youri Tielemans – 6 – Wasn’t as effective as is expected out of him, gave away the ball easily and couldn’t break Ukraine’s counter-attacking tactics
Amadou Onana – 7 – Way more involved in the game compared to Tielemans and was also key in building Belgium’s attack on Ukraine’s goal
Jeremy Doku – 6 – Did everything in terms of dribbling and skipping past defenders, but failed in delivering the final ball
Kevin De Bruyne – 7 – Did everything in his power to create something for ineffective strikers
Leandro Trossard – 6 – Lost possession way easily on multiple occasions. He was substituted at the hour mark!
