Belgium defeats Canada 1-0 after scoring toward the end of the first half.
Canada continued to attack with more intensity in the second half, but they were unable to score.The crucial sting in the last third is still missing from them. Up to 22 shots were taken today, but just three were successful. In the 90th minute, they receive a corner and the delivery is outrageously overhit.
Batshuayi's goal against the flow of play gave Belgium a tense victory despite the fact that they played much of the game on the back foot. Alphonso Davies of Canada got a penalty kick opportunity early in the first half, but Thibaut Courtois saved it, keeping the score 0-0. Belgium topped Group F as a result of the victory.
In four World Cup games, including the three from their 1986 debut, the Canadians have yet to earn a point or even score a goal.
