AL RAYYAN, Qatar: Canada have proven they can compete against the world's best teams after they frustrated the highly-fancied Belgian side and left them scrambling to a 1-0 victory in their World Cup opener on Wednesday, Canada's manager John Herdman said.
"With a performance like this, I said to the players" 'we just get on to the next task.' I'm proud of what they did, really proud. They proved they can play here." Canada failed to capitalise on several scoring opportunities but still stood up to their mighty opponents by preventing them from settling into the match.
With their win, Belgium now lead Group F with 3 points. The 0-0 draw between 2018 finalists Croatia and Morocco left them on one point each.
