Highlights:

  • The last two heavy weight giants of this World Cup 2018, namely France and Belgium came head to head but only one was going to win this crucial encounter.
  • In the 1st half, defensive play was witnessed from both sides. The attackers of both teams were also finding it hard to get into the 18 yard circle of the opposition.

  • Belgium was quite dominant with the ball possession in the first half but France was equally impressive in countering Belgium’s attacks.
  • This summed up the first half as no side could score a single goal and the scores were level at 0-0.

  • In the 2nd half, France got an early corner and Samuel Umtiti’s perfectly timed header put France in the driving seat.

  • On the other side, Belgium’s attacks intensified but to their dismay, they were constantly being hit by fouls as the French defending was looking more strong by the minute.
  • The Belgians were still dominating in the ball possession but it was their lack of shots at the opposition’s goal that cost them the match.
  • All credit goes to France who deserved to win as they dismantled the World Cup 2018’s best attack with ease.
