Even before the end of the match, "dozens of people, including some wearing hoods, sought a confrontation with the police, endangering public safety," Brussels police said in a statement.
A spokeswoman said some fans were armed with batons and a journalist "was wounded in the face by a firecracker".
Around a hundred police officers were mobilized and residents were warned to avoid certain areas in the city centre. Subway stations were closed and central streets blocked off to contain the violence.
"I condemn in the strongest possible terms the incidents of this afternoon. The police have already intervened decisively. I therefore advise fans not to come to the city center. The police are doing everything possible to maintain public order," Brussels Mayor Philippe Klose wrote on Twitter.
