Only he didn’t need any help getting it there. First came an accidental feat of geometric beauty from Jan Vertonghen, who launched a fluttering airball toward the back post for a teammate to put into the net.

After the second Japanese goal, Romelu Lukaku almost found the back of the net, but he couldn’t finish Thomas Meunier’s cross within 6 yards.

Belgium began to press harder, pushing and probing and looking for a goal to pull them within one.
