Red Flames beat Luxembourg 6-0 but remain behind Scotland

‘It is strange to say after a 6‑0 win, but we are a bit disappointed,’ said Hannah Eurlings. Luxembourg did not register any goals. Belgium must win by at least four goals in the upcoming match to claim the group leader position. If they fall short, Scotland will retain the top spot. The Tuesday clash will determine whether the Red Flames can overturn the deficit before the qualifying round ends. The match marks the last opportunity for Belgium to change the standings.
