Morocco wins first FIFA World Cup game since 1998 after defeat of Belgium

The Hindu  

The Belgium national team is “too old”, Kevin De Bruyne rightly said. In its second World Cup game it was phlegmatic once more, and Thibaut Courtois, too, looks fallible playing with men who have lost most of their extraordinary talents. Here he misjudged and let a free-kick from Abdelhamid Sabiri slip past his grasp in the 73rd minute in Morocco’s 2-0 win at the Al Thumama Stadium to help move the north African nation to the top of the Group F table Earlier, he had fumbled and let in a Hakim Ziyech free-kick during the dying seconds of the first half, with only technology coming to his rescue as VAR found Romain Saiss fractionally offside. Eden Hazard finally found flashes of his old self to earn a corner after scooting past a challenge from Azzedine Ounahi to test the goalkeeper from distance with seven second half minutes already played. What KDB thought of Belgium's chances before start of #FIFAWorldCup 👀 Belgium's final Group F match is against Croatia 🙈 pic.twitter.com/EbwJknMk16 — Sportstar November 27, 2022 Morocco’s pluckiness finally had its sweetener as Courtois was fooled by substitute Abdelhamid Sabiri’s free-kick from the left that eluded his outstretched palm to slip through his inside post.
