After the disgrace against Spain the Red Devils also lost their game against Armenia. After another bad game, it was 2-1. The national team isn’t doing well and finds itself in a crisis.

In the beginning they played fairly well, but they couldn’t create any chances. Armenia had less trouble with that because they created chance after chance. At the rest, 1-0, was a fair score. After the break the second goal followed quickly. Defour and Simons got blown away by Hovsepyan. Anderlecht – player De Sutter brought more fire to the team. He created chances, but had no luck finishing them. In the end, Belgium managed to score one goal thanks to Van Buyten.

After the game national coach Frank Vercauteren quit his job. “If you think you can’t bring something to the team anymore, you have to leave,” he said to Sporza. “I can’t go on after a game like this. Apparently I couldn’t do what was needed and then I have to take my responsibility.”

Result: 2-1
Goals: 21' Goharyan (1-0), 50' Hovsepyan (2-0), 92' Van Buyten (2-1)

Belgium: Gillet, Swerts, Van Buyten, Simons, Deschacht, Defour, Martens (52' De Sutter), Mirallas (72' Hazard), De Camargo, Sonck (81' Lamah), Dembélé
