How do Belgium and Italy arrive?

The current # 1 in the world according to the FIFA Ranking, Belgium, comes to this match after overcoming one of the most complicated obstacles, and that was to beat the Portugal team, who are the current European champions, in the round of 16. After qualifying ideally after an exceptional first round with 3 wins in 3 games, they came out to face one of the best teams in the world today and did not disappoint. Although they did not have control of the ball and neither of the game, of the 6 scoring chances they created, they managed to finish only 1 of them with a shot on goal, and this was Thorgan Hazard’s goal in a minute 42. If we compare these statistics with Portugal, we have that the Portuguese created 23 scoring chances and finished 4 of them with shots on goal, so the effectiveness of the forwards was not ideal in these decisive instances.
