With the Man United striker scoring a brace and providing a selfless assist for the fourth goal of the match, Belgium's finishing abilities look up-to-date and ready to be tested in the upcoming World Cup. With consistently performing attackers like Lukaku, Mertens, Hazard, De Bruyne and Carrasco, Belgium successfully kept a high tally of goals in most of the friendly games, something they will hope to deliver in their tournament fixtures as well.

Costa Rica can rely on players like Ruiz, Urena, and Campbell who have a good eye for the back of the net. And even while, the team creates not too many chances to score a goal, they can definitely trouble the opposing goalkeeper and defenders with their powerful volleys and strikes at goal.
