Michy Batshuayi scored to give Belgium a 1-0The game was a lively encounter in the first half and Canada had the best opportunity to strike first following a handball. But Alphonso Davies, who has been out of action since Nov. 5 due to injury, stepped up only to see the attempt saved by Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard were surprisingly quiet, but just before the break, Belgium snapped the deadlock through Michy Batshuayi. Belgium did have chances to double its lead only for last-minute defending from the Canadians to prevent them from finding the back of the net again.
Good teams score the important goals.
Except for the two penalties, against Canada, inside the box, not called ! 🇨🇦
Did we expect anything different from a Canadian team?
