Canada 0-1 Belgium: Batshuayi scores after early Alphonso Davies penalty miss
Michy Batshuayi scored to give Belgium a 1-0 leadThe 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.
Yet despite the scuff, Canada stayed very involved in the match with second-ranked Belgium the side forced to sit back. John Herdman's side registered 14 shots compared to four for Belgium. Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne and Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard were quiet during the opening 45 minutes, but just before the break, Belgium snapped the deadlock through Michy Batshuayi.
The second half has been a nervy contest as both sides push for the next goal. Canada, again, look the hungrier of the two teams but, the score remains 1-0 with roughly 30 minutes to go.
