Belgium's Lionesses were always going to be a tough ask for the Scots U20s and after 0-51 success in Scotland two years ago, the home team were always favourites. At Watermael-Boitsfort on Sunday, the Belgian players coached by Stephane De Vos and Dries Michiels were just too strong.
After 20 minutes the score was 5-5, with Scotland replying to an early Belgian score, but by halftime, the home team were leading 36-5. They continued this in second half with a final score of 65-5.
