Belgium defeats USA 5-2 in exhibition match featuring uniform confusion

Belgium defeated the United States 5-2 in an exhibition football match held in Atlanta. The game was marked by significant viewer and player confusion due to the two teams wearing similar uniform colors. The United States team wore white jerseys with red accents, while Belgium debuted a light blue away kit. Neither team had alternative jerseys available to switch into during the match, and the U.S. team reportedly considered retrieving backups from their hotel.

Kenny opened the scoring for the U.S. in the 39th minute, followed by an equalizer from Debast in the 45th minute.
