Canada was taught a tough lesson as it lost 1-0 to Belgium in its first World Cup match in 36 years
Despite all its dominance, Canada couldn’t get the goal it so richly deserved and had the frustration of seeing Alphonso Davies’ penalty saved by Belgian keeper Thibaut Courtois in the first half. The Canadians had 14 shots on the Belgian goal in the opening 45 minutes alone but couldn’t find the back of the net on a frustrating evening at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium. Belgium reached the World Cup semifinals in 2018 and the European team made Canada pay for their wastefulness.
Canada continued to create chances in the second half but just couldn’t find a breakthrough. The entire Canada squad huddled in the middle of the pitch after the match as Belgium’s players celebrated with their fans. There must have been a sense of disbelief given Canada hadn’t made the most of an impressive performance with frustration etched all over their faces.
