Egypt test Belgium's 'Golden Generation'

The Red Devils settle for 1-1 draw with Egypt despite numerous chances for Lukaku, De Bruyne

- 

Romelu Lukaku's entrance as a second-half substitute drew a standing ovation from the smattering of Belgium supporters. It took only 23 seconds to turn those hopeful cheers into raptures of euphoria.

Lukaku's presence sparked an immediate attack that led to Belgium's lone goal against Egypt Tuesday, helping to earn a 1-1 draw in the team's opening World Cup match.

"He's a target man," Belgium captain Youri Tielemans said. "He needs to build up his fitness, which is understandable after being out for the season. But, he helps us in this way."

Lukaku, a Napoli striker who leads his nation in goals scored, withdrew from Belgium's friendlies in the United States in the spring to get fitter as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
