If the original belt didn't break and it was just replaced , the timing marks were not aligned when the new belt was installed. If the timing marks are not aligned or moved during replacement, the engine is out of time and firing when valves are not in the proper position. If the belt broke during operation and then replaced, the belt can be installed correctly with the timing marks aligned however when the belt broke the pistons (still moving) and the valves(not moving) came in contact and bent one or more valves and are now valve(s) not sealing properly when they close. Valve sealing can be checked by performing a compression check on each cylinder, it will be obvious if a cylinder is bad if the compression shows little or no compression.
