Belgium's Romelu Lukaku dedicated his first goal of Euro 2020 to his club teammate Christian Eriksen, who suffered a scary collapse earlier on Saturday.

Denmark's Eriksen fell to the ground just before halftime of his country's match against Finland, bringing the game to a halt. Eriksen received medical attention on the field, and the game was eventually suspended.

After it was reported that Eriksen was recovering from the scary moment, the matchday resumed, with Eriksen's health still top of mind for all of the players in the tournament.

In the final game of the day, Lukaku, who plays alongside Eriksen at Inter Milan, scored first for Belgium.

After sending his goal home, Lukaku ran directly to a camera on the side of the field.

"Chris!" Lukaku said straight down the barrel of the camera. "I love you!"

Belgium went on to take a 2-0 lead into halftime against Russia after Thomas Meunier tucked away a second goal in the 34th minute.
