Michy Batshuayi
Striker Michy Batshuayi scored for Belgium on the stroke of halftime as they took a 1-0 lead into the break against unlucky Canada in their World Cup Group F game at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium on Wednesday.
Canada's Alphonso Davies had missed an 11th-minute penalty after Belgium's Yannick Carrasco handled the ball and that miss came to haunt them as they could not beat Thibaut Courtois.
Davies's poor spot-kick was saved by Courtois and Canada wasted numerous other opportunities to open the scoring.
Belgium narrowly claimed all three points to top Group F while Canada sit bottom while Croatia, Morocco are second and third after a stalemate.
