Canada surrendered after fighting Belgium
Belgium 1- Canada 0
Doha: Canada played for the first time in the 1986 World Cup, the last time Argentina won the title. He still reaches the world stage later. But the Canadian team came back from the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium last night with a strong indication that no one should write them off because of that lack of experience.
In the first match of the Qatar World Cup, the Canadians were defeated by Belgium, who are strong in Europe and the dark horses of the cup. Perhaps if they had been able to convert a penalty into a goal, the outcome of the match would have been different. On the other hand, Belgium could not overcome Michy Batshuayi’s solo goal in the first half.
Canada started the game in alarming fashion for Belgium, who came out without the famous forward Romelu Lukaku. As they went on to smell another coup, Belgium’s midfield master, Kevin De Bruyne didn’t even get the ball for the fifteen minutes. first. Canada’s forwards were organized by Tyon Buchanan, Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David. Goalkeeper Thibaut Couteaux rose to the occasion and helped Belgium. In the 10th minute, the referee awarded a penalty for Carrasco’s handball foul inside the box. But Anfonso Davies missed the opportunity to score their first goal in the World Cup in front of Kotwo’s presence. Davies’ weak kick was easily parried by Kotvo.
As Canada continued to push, Belgium fought back and fought back. Belgium opened the account in the 44th minute through Batshuayi. Batshuayi scored from Toby Alderwild’s pass. Canada really shook Belgium in the second half. If Buchanan, Davies, David and Junior Hoilett had taken advantage of their opportunities, the result of the match would have been different and Belgium, on the other hand, could not convert their opportunities into goals.
With this win, Belgium topped the points table in Group F. Croatia and Morocco were second and third with one point each. Belgium will play Morocco and Canada will play Croatia on Sunday.
