Doha – Belgium defeats Canada by a one-sided goal in the FIFA World Cup. Michy Batshuayi scored the goal for Belgium in the 43rd minute. In a game where both teams had several chances, the net was shaken only once. Belgium’s goal came in the last minute of the first half, and both teams played competitively from the start. The Belgian star crossed to the Canadian defenders who came to block the pass given by Toby Alderweireld.
Striker Alphonso Davies wasted a golden opportunity to take the lead in the 10th minute of the game, which was an obstacle for Canada. Canada were awarded a penalty after Belgium’s Carrasco conceded a handball inside the box. The referee also picked up a yellow card against Carrasco.
Alphonso Davies’ shot to the right of the post was deflected by the Belgian goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois. In the 8th minute, young Canadian player Tajon Buchanan’s goal attempt was also wasted. Belgium soon returned to the game after defending against Canada’s attack in the opening minutes. Strikes from captain Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne gave Belgium chances after the first 15 minutes.

For the first time since 1986, Canada did not have the pressure of a team playing in the World Cup. Whenever the game was controlled by Belgium, the Canadian players constantly attacked the Belgian box by grabbing the ball. But just forgot to score the goal.
Canada fired 22 shots at the Belgian goal. But only three on target. In the 38th minute, Canadian player Laria, who fell into the box after colliding with Witzel from Belgium, argued for a penalty, but the referee did not allow it.
Canada created several chances in the Belgium box in the second half. But they could not reach even one goal. Canadian Stephen Eustaquio’s efforts at the start of the second half went to waste. In the 80th minute, Alphonso Davies’ header was saved by the Belgian goalkeeper. The game ended with a score of 1-0 as the Belgian defense stifled all Canadian advances. With the win, Belgium topped Group F with three points.
