It happened in Argentina, also in Germany and this Wednesday there was another exhibition that opportunism kills intensity. if you know Belgiumthat suffering before a suffocation Canada On his debut in Group F he took the same three points, taking advantage of one of the few times he entered the box. Even if it took a bitter taste from the defeat 1-0, the Canadian team confirmed its good level, which led it to its second World Cup in history after 36 years. With pure heart and dynamics, it was more than the Europeanseven if they failed in the fire zone, there where his rival put what he had.

What Canada should have done on merit, Belgium did towards the end of the first half on opportunism. The North American team had everything to take the lead, including a penalty. However, the lack of restraint in the closing meters skewed the view of their attackers who didn’t clear well the many early stage chances where they were dominant.

Belgium has been attacked. Canada stole the ball from him and made it their own. He squeezed the European team and created many problems for them at the beginning. He had a gear of speed and also of intensity. Before ten minutes he has already seen the goal flash before his eyes. Through the call from the VAR, Zambian referee Janny Sikazwe charged a penalty for a sharp handball by Yannick Carrasco after a shot by Tajon Buchanan. Alphonso Davies kicked and Thibaut Courtois chose very well to shoot towards the right post to block it.

The Real Madrid goalkeeper was important in resisting Canadian pressure. He also disabled a shot at Alistair Johnston. Buchanan, who plays for Belgian Championship club Bruges and looked to be having a special night, lost in front of goal after Richie Laryea’s cross.

Belgium were having a difficult time, mainly because their key man, Kevin De Bruyne, was not sharp; quite the opposite. The Manchester City figure acted as a link and from there he had the task of managing his team. However, he was seen as erratic and inaccurate. And his deadly weapon, the through ball, didn’t work.

An orientated check by Eden Hazard which ended in Michy Batshuayi’s chance intercepted just in time by Kamal Miller had been the only interesting production from Belgium. Until, coming out from the back, Toby Alderweireld raised his head and took a shot that more than a throw was a real assist of more than 50 meters for Batshuayi, who scored between the central players and defined with his left foot.
